CDK114 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I dont really know how to spell a sneezing fit because if it sounds too different, it sounds weird. And if it is the same spelling, it sounds weird.Im writing a story and I need to know this, help? Link to comment
BelieveInRollins Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 go into the observation section of this fourm. you'll find a bunch of spelled out sneezes there ;P Link to comment
High on Lullabies Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Depends on how many sneezes you're talking about spelling out. If you're going to write 10-12 sneezes say, with identical spelling then I agree that might look a little odd. However assuming they all come from the same person, it's not unreasonable that they might at least sound similar What I often do when spelling sneezes (and I spell pretty much every sneeze I write because...really like that ) in a fit or multiple is take whatever spelling you use first and then vary the first or second syllable of the sneeze by one or two letters. So if I have 'Hih-shuuh!' to start with, I might have 'Heh-shuuh!' next or something like that. You could also add extra letters to the later sneezes if the fit is getting more desperate or stronger Link to comment
Joal 555 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I dont really know how to spell a sneezing fita sneezing fit(not too difficult really )sorry, that was no help at all..... Link to comment
sillystarsmoons Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I agree with High On Lullabies advice thats a good example and theres lots of spelled out sneezes in the observations and stories section! Link to comment
Jorm Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 For fits in stories where you picture the character having the same sound each time you can also use the narrative to inform the reader that it's a fit without actually spelling out all the sneezes. Something more like;..."Eh'shuuUUH!" but he/she wasn't done yet, another six sneezes followed, each one almost exactly the same as the first.Only better worded than that hastily written sentence Link to comment
klaus_schnell Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 would someone be able to translate my sneeze sound into text? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjoMyTg-vVU Link to comment
Jorm Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I would spell most of yours along the lines of; Hut'tsshhoo or Hut'tchoo Though the first one in that video sounds more a single syllable huh'TCH Link to comment
