Found an American?
It's not what IPA is simple (it's not hard for sure), it's what 99% of Americans never even had a chance to at least learn what it is.
Most of the time when you learn some other language the pronunciation is given in IPA. Guess who almost never learn any other language?

I've never even set foot in the Western Hemisphere, try again. > It's not what IPA is simple (it's not hard for sure), it's what 99% of Americans never even had a chance to at least learn what it is. How does that compare to say China, Brazil or India? > Most of the time when you learn some other language the pronunciation is given in IPA. I have native-level proficiency in 3 languages, all of which use entirely different writing systems. I also studied French in highschool. Guess what I was never taught?
