Need to replace the IPA

[Tom Zurinskas]

Here is a marvelous site on US dialects http://bit.ly/16ySkcW
Scroll down a bit and find a new phonetic notation which addresses the problem that IPA is not liked for English.

The above site gives a link.  This site lists 21 "pronunciation spellings" including BBC and NBC
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronunciation_respelling_for_English#Traditional_respelling_systems
Click on the menu item "talk" and you go to page that discusses the English difficulties with the iPA
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Pronunciation_respelling_for_English

I'm happy to provide the answer with truespel phonetics
