- wl 6y agoWhich pronunciation would you codify? And we'd have to do it all over again in 200 years.
- ginko 6y ago> Which pronunciation would you codify? How the average German fluent in English pronounces it.

- BitwiseFool 6y agoI wonder how that will be possible without using accented letters. English doesn't use them but it seems like it should. E.g. Refuse (deny) / Refuse (trash), Permit (allow)/ Permit (a document of permission), Record (Vinyl)/ Record (to save)
- Rhinobird 6y agodouble a letter to add ephasis or indicate a long vowel. Reefuse / refuse, Permit / Permmit, Record / Reecord
