In traditional Shavian there are only a few words where 'ah' is used, anyway! Words like "psalm", "father", "palm", "calm", "Saddam", "qualm", etc etc etc Hugh...
That's good...I did use "ah" in father, so that means I'm doing something correctly. I seem to be using "err" and "up" quite a bit, does anyone know if this...
IMHO as a fellow American, one who believes that there should be little if any difference between American and British/other spelling in Shavian, I'd say "err"...
Hi Craig I agree with you in that I prefer to use array and ado by default, and only use Err and Up when those sounds are uncommonly stressed out. Say for...
You've hit the nail squarely on the head regarding err and up. Use them only when stressed. That's the only difference there is between them and array and ado....
I wouldn't say that the 'ar' in "Richard" would use 'err' as it's not stressed (the stress is on the "Rich"), or in "available" (stress on the "vail"). ...
Of course, in my dialect (or idiolect), both syllables of murder are stressed equally. mxdx. I think... Raven ... A tiger can smile A snake will say it loves...
Hi Raven, Craig and Hugh I notice serious differences in how we are all using the Shaw letters "err" and "Array". It doesn't seem to be strictly speaking a ...

Hi all, In my opinion as to this whole phonetic fiasco, I think it is most important to be consistent when using characters. Because some people cannot...
