I am seriously not joking. Pronounciation guides are meaningless to include in mass consumption dictionaries if the common man can't read them.
Looking up an appropriate word...
# IPA: /pɹəˌnʌnsiˈeɪʃən/, SAMPA: /pr@%nVnsi"eIS@n/
Is that supposed to mean anything to me? Why is "prun-ounce-e-hay-shun" so taboo and impossible to use?
