>that most popular words folks fall back upon faulty transcriptions methods. and systems.

I take exception to that! I don't have a particular method, much less system; I just got tired of folks complaining about the lack of a pronunciation guide. (but then, I'm not that popular, anyways.)

I've tried using the OED as a guide, but they use that darn IPA notation. I s'pose you could call my method/system ad hoc. : )
