Sep 13, 2021 at 8:40 comment added ProseFerret I think I ascribed too much authority to the word convention, assuming it was like set of standards. This is a completely valid answer, but I think it's enhances by incorporating what you've just told me in your comment into the answer with an edit

Sep 13, 2021 at 8:32 comment added user52044 @Pureferret I'm not sure what you are asking. The word "convention" means that something is done by most people most of the time. Like greeting persons you meet. It is not "determined". It is learned by example. ––– From your reading experience, would you say that what I describe is not the convention??? I very rarely read phonetic representations of incoherent speech, and mostly in Middle Grade novels for humorous effect. In writing for adults it seems exceedingly rare to me. In fact, I cannot remember having encountered it at all, at least not recently.
Sep 13, 2021 at 8:23 comment added ProseFerret You mentioned this "convention", but who has determined that is the convention? Or so you mean, that you've observed this?
