Dialects

While I think that the use of Huck's unique dialects does add some flavor to the story, it more often than not just makes the story more difficult to read. I for one have more difficulty reading the story because the dialect is distracting and sometimes actually manages to take away from the story. Some wording and phrases are almost too colorful, and often in my head I almost have to translate what Huck is saying into something that I can actually understand. So while I understand why Twain uses the dialect, for color and uniqueness, I think that it would make it easier for the readers if we used regular language instead of the country, for lack of a better word, hick dialect of Huck.
