Are you American? It certainly won't work for any rhotic dialect; I'm
aware of that.

That's right, [r{Iz@].

The only error I have found since posting is that I accidentally spelt
"case" as _caes_ instead of _kaes_, ditto "cases".

Yep, as I discussed in reply to Christophe. That's why diacritics are
omitted from diphthongs - to minimise this obstacle. I haven't tested
this, but I expect that if you measured the frequency of diacritics in
my system versus a piece of Swedish text (for example), mine would
have fewer per page.

And of course, it's all for fun anyway; I don't expect anyone to use
it :-)
