Here is a question. In Gregg, words are spelled as they are sounded. Is there an “official” ruling for words that are sounded differently based upon the dialect of your region. For example, right out of the gate, the manual tells you to spell “calm” as “c-a-m” because the “l” is silent. Not in Indiana….
