[Ads-l] thoughts on this idea? variant pronunciations in a dictionary receive individual etymologies

[W Brewer]

If you want to write for a global audience, and for future ages, then use
IPA. Any other ad-hoc notation will be ephemeral & unappreciated. But, then
again, as I think about it, IPA is probably a Communist conspiracy, like
metric, and an assault on American Exceptionalism. Okay, never mind.
