I feel bad for fic writers who live up north. Those poor souls have to figure how how us southerners talk when they write lines for the Apple family. I'll bet they hate writing Apple lines as much as I hate writing Zecora lines.
They never get it right

T'ain't one that's gotten it right so far.

We got you pretty well well figured out.

But the Apples in the show already talk how 'northerners' think southerners talk. The slang and accents are watered down enough to be recognizable to children watching the show.

Even if you have a very accurate idea of how the accent sounds (it's Arkansas/South Missouri if anyone's curious) it's still difficult to write out. Phonetically spelling words isn't easy with a standard alphabet. Applejack can be written as heavily as Tom Sawyer or Huck Finn - they have roughly the same accent. But that's hard to write and hard to read, so most authors do something easier and less accurate.

It doesn't matter. MLP has gone international and that and to almost all the non-american fans, it sounds southern.

I'd feel bad if ANYONE who was a fic writer had to write a cajun-french horse. Whether speaking english or french it is almost impossible to tell what they are saying. Think of the old guy from water boy, it is almost literally like that but you can usually make out a few words.

"If'n them writers can't write in mah speakin' style, then maybe they ought not ta be writin' a'tall!"

Aww shucks, sugar cube, if y'all never try, they will call y'all a rube.
But, making y'alls pen write in a foreign tongue, could result in an insult that'll get y'all hung -
heee-yuck!
nigger.
I live in southern indiana, I'm not sure I'm even southern enough
>>29768060
>not even murrican
>just don't include AJ in any work
Solved that one a long ago.
