Good evening all.

My question... which dunt matter in the overall scheme of owt. BUT....How do us Sheffield folk spell 'right'? Is it 'rayt', reight' or 'rait'. Or any other way? Or is it just the way we say it and we spell it 'right'. Opines please.

As a common Sheffielder of 43 years, born and bred, i find it varies, even from estate to estate. Any attempt to pigeon hole is wholly and totally futile.

Well it might be fun, the other threads have been, but don't expect any agreement or general consensus, there wont be any.

I accept that I may have asked an old question. It really did come from a good place. Sam

Dunt marra how tha spells it. It's t'phonetic rendition of correct spaych tha's goin' fo'.

[Manlinose 10]

presumably, how you spell it depends on how you pronounce it - for me it rhymes with the number 8 so i'd spell it reight if i was writing (or should that be wreighting) it phonetically

[angel22 10]

Surely nobody actually spells it the same way they pronounce it?!

 

Even if you pronounce it as 'reyt', the correct spelling is still 'right'?
