It got pop'luh to smoke 'em in the late sixties when the gov'nuh 'scovered the tax on cigs could be 'ncreased exponential like. Back to grammar: When you write in dialect should you use any 'postrophies or jus' spell ut like ut soun's? I get frustrated when I read it and it is mixed one way and t' uther. Is there a "proper" or best practice format?
