pronunciations
Many of the pronunciations added by User: Sunnynai depended on  non-rhotic, or "r-dropping", pronunciations. For example, in British Received Pronunciation "core" and "caw" are pronounced the same, /kɔː/, but in American English they are distinct: "caw" is /kɔː/ but "core" is /kɔr/. An American using this book would pronounce many words very badly.

Seeing that some pronunciations used parentheses, like I used the same convention on some pronunciations, e.g., changing to
 * me (me(n)) – I, me
 * do (door)
 * do (doo(r))

Some pronunciations used words that could be pronounced in more ways than one: Is that the verb lead /li:d/ (rhyming with "feed") or the metal lead /lɛd/ (rhyming with "red")? Since i is /i/ in many languages and rarely if ever /ɛ/, rhyming with "feed" is a safe bet, so I changed the pronunciation example to (lea(k)). --Thnidu (discuss • contribs) 03:40, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
