How do we distinguish how a character pronounces a word and how it is spelled in a dialogue? For example, some people pronounce words in a different way than they should, how do you show that in a dialogue? Is there a way to do this properly? Is there a standard way? For example: > "I don't want to buy Ae-pple products, because they are too expensive for the quality you're getting." > > "It's A-pple, not ae-pple. There are two a's in English, the pronunciation is different, but they are spelled in the same way."
