> a phonetically correct alphabet for English The problem with these efforts is that they're usually a "correct" spelling for a specific accent/dialect of English -- typically based on the American midwest accent used on news broadcasts. However, English, being a global language has an almost uncountable number of minor accents and dialects which won't conform to a standard phonetic spelling. Still, these are fun exercises and do point to the absurdity of English orthography.
