A writing question

[Poll #1410171]

I've no plans to write out Scotty's accent. Scottish accents are best left to the imagination of the reader, as their main sound [to my American ear] is the way the Rs roll out. But, if you were to write out Scotty's accent, how would you spell things?

I agree with the above comment. Having the accent written out is really annoying, and I don't think a writer of your caliber needs to lean on that kind of a crutch. I'm sure you have his voice down and it's through that voice, with the proper structure and diction, that the reader will be MORE then able to hear the accent without the obnoxious spelling. <3
