More on "spriting"
While I see potential in "spriting" for people of a dominant discourse community, I am not sure that it can do anything but further marginalize those of us who are not. I talk funny. There are sounds that I will never make "correctly" and I am comfortable with that. I generally have taught myself to mitigate my accent, at least when I am rested and calm. I love writing as a means of communication because it provides a screen, like a blind audition. I can be judged on the strength of my ideas and the way that I have communicated those rather than my accent.
