An example of this is that I'm currently proof-reading the "J G Reeder" detective stories of Edgar Wallace for the MR library, and a speech affectation of his is to use the word "um" a lot to indicate pauses in his speech. On at least half the occasions in the PG text I'm proofing from, "um" is spelt "urn".
