i don’t understand why most people on the internet don’t use IPA for conveying pronunciation
while it is more complicated, and unless you are a phonology nerd, you have to look things up (including me), it is incredibly more concise
it is, in fact, the only way to concisely convey any pronunciation (excluding single language focused phonetic notations)
different english dialects have different pronunciation: e.g. fur can be /fɜː(ɹ)/
, /fɜɹ/
and /fʌr/
While this is not the case for your comment, others also use made-up words for conveying pronunciation. Ghoti is a perfect example why that is problematic.
what?
mine is
/maɪ̯n/
me is
/miː/
(UK),/mi/
(US) or/mɪ/
(northern England)baroque is
/bæˈɹɒk/
(UK) or/bəˈɹoʊk/
(US)do you just want to add an
/iː/
between fr and fr?/fɹiːfɹ/
?
