What is the source of this statement? thanks – ishwar (speak) 19:26, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
- The earliest quotation for the term in the OED is:
-
- 1925 G. P. KRAPP Eng. Lang. in Amer. I. iv. 228 The impression of popular speech..is often assisted by what may be termed ‘*eye dialect’, in which the convention violated is one of the eye, not of the ear. Thus a dialect writer often spells a word like front as frunt, or face as fase, or picture as pictsher, not because he intends to indicate here a genuine difference of pronunciation, but the spelling is merely a friendly nudge to the reader.

[edit] Requested move
- Pronunciation respelling → Pronunciation spelling … Rationale: Latter term is both more standard and more generic. The previous reverse move was apparently to be consistent with Pronunciation respelling for English. I have not requested a move for that as that name is more defensible; it relates only to dictionary-key respelling rather than pronunciation spelling more generally. However, consistency of names between the two pages is misleading, unneccessary and deficient. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Pronunciation respelling. jnestorius(talk) 08:50, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
