Just had one recently from an Irish chap- lamb pie described as lamb poi. My German sister in law when trying to be posh says pearrrnoh, rather than piano, then 'down South, becomes 'darn sarf' when she is being daft.

I assume that this thread relates to my correcting someone's spelling last night.
The thing is that no matter how we pronounce words we would not write it like that as whilst we all have our own dialects commonality is provided via written medium.
For example, someone from the Midlands would not write (for example) Yow rather than You, or Oi rather than I, or Doe rather than Do (#1).
Of course, being dyslexic (#2) I'm generally the last to correct others but when last nights spelling was repeated it was obvious that such was intended rather than a typo mistake.
kind regards,
Shaun.
#1 I don't speak like that by the way but thats because I've spent most of my adult life working in London. Even lived there for a few years.
#2 The mirror writing variant. Generally only shows now as i's and e's being the wrong way around.

I did wonder if it might be someone with English as a second language. Having a few such clients and family members I see a few such things, sometimes it's easy to understand and sometimes not, just perhaps as my phraseology is to them. It was only remarked yesterday at relatives that sometimes it's easier to understand the French than some of our dialects. I'm a bit English Police like but drop some huge clangers when using either predictive text or more like when I'm typing too fast....to the point where when I type 'the' as teh on my PC it doesn't pick it up as a typo any more!! Or maybe it's just given up on trying to correct me.

Ah, that would be because Teh is a real word Jo (well, it is around here anyway).
Putting it into a sentence.
"i teh am it?".
Translation
"It isn't is it?".
Wonder if there's much call for a translator able to understand fluent Yim Yam.
Maybe I should offer it as a service of PeoplePerHour to have any sentence you choose translated into Aynuk & Ayloi speak.

It is a constant source of annoyance on some Scottish football forums where they insist on typing down what they sound like rather than the correct word.
"I know" becomes "a know" for instance.
What does it achieve? You have to speak the post out loud to understand what they're talking about.
(See if you can guess what I edited).
(The edit isn't much better than the original).
