Well.

Î'v bén sendin, some postin`s on a revîsd, non-ASCII, Énglis´ spellin`
refo,rm.  Î hav some problems wiþ accents, mainly becås î'm not a nativ
Énglis´ spêk,r and ðe fonètic gides î hav in hand ár Spanis´-Énglis´
dict`,naris cùv,rin´ mainly Brittis´ Énglis´.

Î want my spellin` tó be as accent free as possible (not havin`
ó,n-simb,l-ó,n-sound in my gouls, it helps).

Î g`nô ðat mény sounds have ó,n-ó,n correspòndanç, like Brittis´ /@U/ vs
Amèrican /ow/, h`ic´ ár îð,r "o", "ô" or "ou" in my sistem.  Î'm mainly
worrid h`en suc´ correspòndanç is brok,n.

Besides î hav not þink yet in ål posibìlitis fo,r /S/ and /Z/.  Cood somó,n
send a list of posib,l orþografis (wið examp,ls) ov posible /S/ and /Z/ (or
eny oðer tricky sound), boþ ûsu,l spellin`s and ó,n wo,rd spellin`s.

Þank y'ål!
