Letter from Paul Brown
Dialect – September 1999 – Colorado Central Magazine
Enough with the dialect…
Dear Editor,
I wish you would quit encouraging what you must feel is the humorous “hick dialect” writing style of letter-writer Clay Warren (and why is he afraid to use his real name). As a descendant of true hillbillies, I find the style offensive and a reminder of disrespectful urban people’s attempts to make fun of and alienate rural residents and their culture.
