<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Hello Tomas,<br>
<br>
I was happy to find, attached to your mail , the phonetic files pertaining to
the pronunciation of scores of words in various Germanic languages and
dialects. For most of my life after my secondary school days I have been
fascinated by the phonetics, phonemics and phonology of Dutch, Dutch dialects,
English and other Germanic languages. When I went through the files, however, I
was sorely disappointed by the lack of rationality and consistency in many of
the examples in those files. I was struck by a number of weird transcriptions
and by the fact that some transcriptions of nearly identical specimens are
highly divergent</span></p>
