When I read an email from anyone, I read it silently. But, in my head, the voices are reading outloud in the accent that, that particular person has. Make sense? Example: One of our employees is Hispanic. He sent me an email and I hear it as though he was saying it. Instead of you, I hear Jew. Instead of slow, I hear Eslow. Instead of explain, I hear Esplayeen... That also happens with our Philipeen employee. Is this wrong?

I do that all the time! That's so funny. Actually, I've spoken about this to some of my co-workers & we ALL hear the persons' voice in our head (if it's known to us) while silently reading their emails. Welcome to the club!

No, it's not wrong. It just happens to be how you read it. If something is spelled with an accent like your example "esplayeen", then that's how I will hear it in my head. If it's spelled "explain", I read it in my head with a midwestern accent. Although you do it different than me, it's not wrong, it's just different than how I do it.

I don't see how such a thing could be wrong. When I get text message from my friend who has a squeaky voice, I hear her squeaky voice when I read it. It is perhaps human nature to do such a thing.

Odd but not "wrong"
Just don't do it out loud.

I do that too. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
