Re: 304

So it would be just from linguistics? Back in DOS days, I used to have a word processor that would transcribe written pages into several ethnic sounding dialects, including valley girl talk. It could fool someone. I imagine it could also be done without a computer program (although I don't know how) if someone was intent on providing false leads. I wonder if grapho analysts could detect this?
