nayrt

Probably meant more in the sense that the character would likely believe, if recording their thoughts in writing, that they thought of X word, not "X word as pronounced with Y accent."

The latter might be how others hear them, especially if their own accent is different, but probably not how someone would casually assess their own thoughts.

exactly, they're all butthurt over nothing. wtf

they would think words as normal words and at most their syntax and grammar or idioms would change, a southern american might think 'they ain't gonna sound like this,' but they're not gonna think it out 'dey ain't goina soun' laik this'

Pronunciation isn't spelling.

But, funnily enough, spelling is, in fact, how they know what accents from before recording technology sounded like.

See, back in the day, spelling wasn't standardized. And someone who would pronounced the sentence 'dey woul soun like dat' would, in fact write it as 'dey woul soun like dat'.

1) we're talking about a third party author writing someone's accent
2) the character in question isn't writing at all
3) even if they were, what in hell, I do not write in the accent I speak in and neither do most people

you are a strange person. I'm disconnecting from this conversation. this is seriously so weird. bye

3) even if they were, what in hell, I do not write in the accent I speak in and neither do most people

This is precisely my point.

What they would write and what they would say are not the same, but what they would speak and what they would think are.

This is where the problem comes in.

By talking about writing out accents in thought, rather than writing out accents in general, you implicitly stated that what is written reflects thought, and thus speech does not reflect thought.

[(Anonymous)]

what is written reflects thought. speech reflects thought but comes out differently due to accents

we can both think 'mary' and pronounce it in different ways due to our respective accents

we are both still thinking 'mary' this does not change and if you were writing out our thoughts it should still be mary in thought even if you physically enunciate merry and i physically enunciate mairy

jfc ok im really done this is ridiculous

[kamino_neko]

This only makes sense if people think in text, which they don't.

[(Anonymous)]

They don't? I do. It's not the only way people think, but some of us do think in text.

Speak for yourself matey. I'm a very visual thinker, which involves seeing words.
