Be aware my IPA transcription is untutored, and may be iffy. However, I
need to study the vowels of English if I'm ever to get this script
underway. It's definitely going to be onset/peak/coda and not
onset/peak+coda, as I originally planned. One glyph for each phoneme of
English, as dialect-agnostic as possible.

Yes. For slightly over four years now, I've been living in North Carolina,
but I originate from the Milton Keynes transdialectical region in the UK,
of North London (specifically Harrow) stock.

I adapted to using USian English online some time before the thoughts of
even coming to the USA entered my mind, simply because it seemed the best
way to address my target audience.
