"in Scottish accent"
Oh no even this lol
Strictly speaking you would be attempting to write someone speaking on the language spectrum between Scots and English.
And Scots has a lot of distinctive spelling, varying by dialects, as well as a varied syntax.
Am no gonny survive this one, am I lol.
Luckily for you i decided that if I committed to this with one character i'd have to commit to it with everybody else who had an accent and while I have enough experience listening to scots to maybe pull it together I can't say the same for anything else, so i will not be embarrassing either you or my mother with this
filing 'write bad scots' away under how to kill both of us at once
I haven't read Feersum Endjinn but I have read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and at least for me I cannot STAND excessive phonetic dialecting
