Maybe someone can help me out with these 3 interrelated questions.
1. Is there a verb for what is done when a word is spelled out phonetically for the purpose of instruction in pronunciation, as following a dictionary entry? I am looking for a word that would take the place of the phrase here in brackets:
" If I were to (spell out phonetically, with diacritical marks and stress indicators to indicate pronunciation) that word, I would do so this way..."

2. How is the word "transliteration" used?

3.How would one (insert above bracketed phrase here) the stereo-typical New York accent as it presents itself in the phrase "Gorgeous as an orchid." It sounds something like this:
goo(r)chis as an oo(r)kid.

Thanks,
MM

One more: Any insight into why the spell-checker at this board is so odd? I mean, can anyone imagine ever misspelling MNEMONIC as MM?
