Re: CPA - An ASCII-based phonetic alphabet

I got lots of square boxes, but I changed the font to Lucida sans & get IPA.
This was a major pain in the
arse to do, tho. This is with Outlook 2000 under Win 98. Unfortunately HTML format
totally fucks everything up, so it's totally impractical to use this as
default.

  [ˈθɪsɪsˌɔ  lɪəkɔ̃ˈpɫɑɪɘ̃sˌtʰɛsθɛn].
   

 "This is only a compliance test then", in US pronunc. Two blanks between
turned c and l (i,e, UN missing from "only"). A box between velarized l and the
small cap I (i). Nasalization diacritics successfully over cOMpliANce.

  [dɪɾɪɾˈwɚk]?
   

 I'd guessed this said "does this work" (d*****w*k), but it seems to say "Did
it work" (in US pronunc).

  --And.
