US and Scottish readers (inter alia) will need to note that the
Simplified Spelling Society is based in Southern England. They never
mention dialectal variation. For example, one of their basic sounds is
'AR' (as in cARt).  This 'AR' sound is also used in 'hEARt' 'banAna' and
AUnt.  Well, for some people...

Why do they never mention dialectal variation?
