    Correct sir, betch is not a real word. However there is a form of writing known as phonetic spelling. An author, as it normally employed in dialogue, will attempt to capture the particular dialect of a specific group of people so as to accurately portray to the reader the manner in which the character sounds when they speak. Erego when she uses the word “betch” – an improper spelling of the english word bitch – she is attempting to recreate the manner in which she herself perhaps prounounces said word.
