i have to apologize for an inconsistency that i keep falling into in my
reformed spelling. i recently switched my representation of the short
"u" sound (as in "fun") with the short "oo"(ts) sound (as in
"good"[ts]). i was using "uh" for short "oo" and "u" for short "u",
but now i'm using them the other way around -- "uh" for short "u" and
"u" for short "oo". i keep forgetting to make this change when i type
in fone'tiks. here are some corrections to the fone'tik section of my
last post:
"sum ov the thingz" should be "suhm ov the thingz"
pronunsee-ae'shenz > pronuhnsee-ae'shenz
"pretee much" > "pretee muhch"
"just goe with it" > "juhst goe with it"
"wun ov the maejer thingz" > "wuhn ov the maejer thingz"
i feel much better now. don't y'all? :)
fone'tik translation of ts ****tions above:
ie hav too apo'lojiez foer an inkonsi'stensee that ie keep fahling
intoo in mie refoe'rmd speling. ie reesentlee swichd mie
reprezentae'shen ov the shoert "u"(ts) sound (az in "fun"[ts]) with the
shoert "oo"(ts) sound (az in "good"[ts]). ie wuhz uezing "uh" foer
shoert "oo"(ts) and "u" foer shoert "u", buht nou iem uezing them thee
uhther wae arou'nd -- "uh" foer shoert "u" and "u" foer shoert
"oo"(ts). ie keep foerge'ting too maek this chaenj wen ie tiep in
fone'tiks. heer ahr suhm koere'kshenz too the fone'tik sekshen ov mie
