RE: Antero and Luc on http://aentwaereps.blogspot.com/ and
http://www.antwerps.be/

  Nice catches, I've been reading the first one occasionally too, and his
dialect is of a very pure and old-fashioned style, but his way of writing it
has many shortcomings, like inserting all the sandhi-sounds between tzo
words: "Dat is echt niet erg", in mine and antwerps.be-style "Dad is echt ni
aerg" would be written "Da d is z echt ni j aereg"; whereas both would lead
to the same pronunciation (by different rules), the last one is a lot harder
to rea dand contains way too many innecessary letters. But I noticed
oftenwhile that older speakers want to write every single detail in
phonetic-like dutch spelling, whereas the younger generation like me and
Filip Camerman from antwerps.be want to create a modern spelling in more
acceptable Dutch style but with assuming pronunciation rules that make the
smaller details clearer and will lead to a correct pronunciation anyway.
It's not because the long ee is pronounced more like èèj or ei that you
can't write it ee like in Dutch - but older speakers are horrified by this
and see it as a decay, and think it hould be written ei or èèj.

However I don't fully agree with the spelling proposed on antwerps.be, and
me and Filip have a lot of discussions on the forums.
 but both are still a very useful source to recommend
