What is the meaning of Eye_dialect?

The deliberate use of a pronunciation spelling in place of a standard one, especially when representing or emphasizing that a speaker's or group's regular use or pronunciation is considered nonstandard or dialectal; sometimes intermixed with respellings that are not actually faithful representations of the lect but are played up hyperbolically.

A set of such nonstandard spellings, collectively used to reflect a certain form of speech.
