Hehe. So do I - while reading some exotic stuff in examples/illustrations in
any linguistic book I try to pronounce the string at least in the way I
understand the symbols are usually/stereotypicly pronounced, even if it can
be not very precise. Anyway, most data are written in IPA or a similar
conventional system, so I don't think I say gibberish by doing so.
