In Reply to: What has spelling got to do with accents? posted by jusbe on October 28, 2014 at 23:55:16:
foreign speakers of a language will mispronounce some words occasionally - rarely a whole sentence (unless they have a really strong accent), so you as speaker just spell the word that is not pronounced well. The problem is that some people -- too many -- refuse to halt the conversation a moment to do that even when it is obvious the speaker is not understood [in rare instances, it is not obvious and the listener thinks he/she understands the speaker]
