If they use a bot to check spelling, this may be an issue for me. I have a story in the pipeline right now in which I use healthy amount of slang and colloquialisms in quoted conversation. A real, live, reviewer would recognize that the "misspelled words" are conveying a manner of speech whereas a bot, or automated spell checker, might not.
It doesn't follow the Chicago Manual because most people don't follow the Chicago Manual in their every day speech. If I have an issue in getting approval, how do I get around it?
When you submit the story put a message in the Notes box explaining that you have used slang.
