Re: Slang that is getting on my nerves

I had a Creative Writing professor who hated stuttering written out. Of course, he also hated any word used besides "said" and also hated any kind of adverb. I reckon that's the more snooty unofficial rules of writing.

I think it's fine, but it definitely can go overboard. (for example, "B-but I don't want to!" vs "B-but I d-don't w-want t-to!") And writing out things like stuttering or accents is probably best left to more "fun" writing, like in kids' fiction or silly creative pieces. I can understand how it can easily be distracting.
