nekkid

[Tom Zurinskas]

Isn't "eye dialect" more like "mouth dialect".  It ain't one's eyes doing the talking.  Folks are just spelling how they talk, what their mouths are doing.  Their mouths do the talking, not their eyes.
 
Shouldn't "eye dialect" refer to mispronouncing a word because of it's spelling, like saying for "Arkansas" are-CAN-zis (~Aarkkanzis) instead of ARE-kin-saw (~Aarkinsau).  That way the "eye" is creating the dialect from what it sees.
 
I would assume "nekked" or "nekid" or "neckid" would work as well.  It's not a real word, so why not?  It's dialectspel, spelling how your talking in a tradspel (traditional spelling) kind of way.
