I have a script where one of the characters is a small child (2 years old).
The kid has problems with pronunciation.
he says stuff like:
Puh ma room
Doh whon to go.
I doh lye my sissy
In her roo. (room)
I'm thinking about italicizing all words that are spelled incorrectly. To show the reader I'm not making typos and this is done on purpose.
What are your thoughts on this? I'm pondering if anyone has ever seen a script with a young child (1-2 years old) as a major character and how the screenwriter went about it regarding the kid's pronunciation in terms of dialogue.
Thank you.
