Urg.
I'm reading a book where the author's opted to write out accents. I don't mind slang and the occasional apostrophe, but I hate it when I have to re-read a sentence of dialog several times just to decipher it. Also it seems a bit insulting to the reader - as if we can't possibly imagine different accents on our own without help. Anyway, it's completely distracting and never fails to take me out of the story.
In other news, I was planning on going to a fair today, but it's raining. I might still go for a while, but rain makes me want to be lazy. (And go back to the book to slog through accents. :D)
