That's why truespel was created. It's an English-friendly, keyboard-friendly phonetic spelling of USA English. Using it I've had to create new words to describe what I'm doing. The "phonemic alphabet" I call the "foenubet". It's the set of phonemes of a language". Traditional spelling of a language is called tradspel. Truespel was designed to be as close to tradspel of English as possible while not being conflicting. Truespel was designed to integrate 4 areas. 1. Dictionary phonetic spelling, 2. Initial teaching for learners phonetically, 3. Translation guides, 4. Data analysis of English phonemes. See the following sites. Truespel Book One: Analysis of the Sounds (Phonemes) of USA English http://www.authorhouse.com/bookstore/itemdetail.aspx?bookid=16593 Convert English to truespel (USA accent) by copy/pasting at http://www.foreignword.com/dictionary/truespel/transpel.htm It's time to put together a proposal for grants on research teaching kids reading/writing with truespel. The technique is proven effective. IBM's "Writing to Read" system by Dr Henry Martin had k-1 kids reading/writing way ahead of traditionally taught kids of same social scale. Conversion to traditional spelling was no problem. This was a sample of 10,000 kids in the 80's tested by ETS. It faded out after Dr. Martin's death. But it did not use regular keyboard letters as truespel does. So if you or anyone would like to use truespel it's free at the converter site below. It's mature and ready for testing. I'll support anyone interested in testing. Tom Zurinskas creator of truespel Truespel is the world's first keyboard friendly pronunciation guide spelling system. See truespel.com.
