Dialect

Brion James Actor

"My whole deal when I do accents or dialects is I gotta fool the locals. If I fool the locals then I've done my job."

David Foster Wallace Writer

"There's a grosser irony about Politically Correct English. This is that PCE purports to be the dialect of progressive reform but is in fact - in its Orwellian substitution of the euphemisms of social equality for social equality itself - of vastly more help to conservatives and the US status quo than traditional SNOOT prescriptions ever were."

Thomas Carlyle Essayist, Historian, Novelist

"A frightful dialect for the stupid, the pedant and dullard sort."

Chinua Achebe Novelist, Poet

"If someone said, I want to translate your novel into Igbo, I would say, Go ahead. But when I write in the Igbo language, I write my own dialect. I write some poetry in that dialect."
