The Dialectizer

You just might become a redneck (or, for that matter, a Swedish chef) when you visit this site (rinkworks.com/dialect). Select any of nine verbal guises and the Dialectizer will instantly convert your Standard English written words into a pretty decent take on cockney, Elmer Fudd clone, even computer hacker (''reaDthis, plz''). Less successfully, the page ''remakes'' favorite sites in the dialect of your choice. The folks who've programmed the Dialectizer say they don't intend any of it to be demeaning -- and it can be quite addictive to try to ''twick'' online chatters into thinking you actually type and talk that way.
