Ok, first, what's IPA, please? Here are some random symbols I clicked on: /ɔ:ʊəɔɪəʊ/ Here they are with the -pre- tag: /ɔ:ʊəɔɪəʊ/

Oooh! Neat, Jackie. The little rectangles get skinnier when you slap the /pre/ tag on them.

Ok, first, what's IPA, please?It's the alphabet that linguists use to transcribe speech. IPA also stands for the International Phonetics Association which you can see spelled out in the IPA at the home site: http://www.arts.gla.ac.uk/IPA/ipa.htmlI usually use SAMPA because not everybody can see the symbols in the Unicode range for the IPA. http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/sampa/home.htm

International Phonetic Alphabet. Oh yeah--thanks. (And a raspberry to the clowns! ) I knew that, but. Funny, isn't it, how nearly effortlessly we learn about things we're interested in, and how, in my case anyway, things I'm not interested in or don't think I'll ever have a use for, just kind of come into one side of my mind and trickle straight out the other.
