High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Eye dialect is a spelling device often employed by authors in order to establish a sympathetic sense of superiority between themselves and the reader as contrasted with the non-standard speech of the character. Such spellings serve mainly to "denigrate the speaker so represented by making him or her appear boorish, uneducated, rustic, gangsterish, and so on". "The convention violated is one of the eyes, not of the ear", it looks like dialect but doesn't sound like it. Examples of such eye dialect spellings are animulz, enuff, sez, wimmin, wut or wot and waz or woz, forms which, for many English speakers, show no difference in pronunciation from their standard counterparts animals, enough, says, women, what and was. The term may also be used to refer to written representations of dialect speech where words are spelled in a manner which indicates a non-standard pronunciation.
