    I still can't understand your guys' answer to the IPA, so I can never
read anything you write with the "at" symbols and whatnot.  But anyway,
here's how I would pronounce: "I'm watching TV right now, not practising law"

"ajm wAtSiN tivi rajt nAEw, nAt pHRAEktIsin LO"

"a"=front, low vowel; "A"=back low vowel; "N"=velar nasal; "AE"=low, front
vowel, higher than "a"; "H"=aspiration; "R"=retroflex approximant (American
English "r"); "L"=velar lateral; "O"=open-mid, back, rounded vowel
