 The other primary use of E7, which is partially visible on some pages, is to help clarify pronunciation of certain words. Although the IPA may be seen as more useful in this regard...I don't think so. This is because the IPA is much harder to write (and thus there's a much higher chance I'll just stop doing it) and because E7 is focused on //English// pronunciation. So...the approximate pronunciation of a foreign word in English is best represented with E7. I think. I hope. The other primary use of E7, which is partially visible on some pages, is to help clarify pronunciation of certain words.

I //do// think that I went about a more phonemic English spelling correctly...I just disagree on how some things are represented. For example, while I like the diaeresis (◌̈) as a diacritic...I'm not sure the use I chose for it is the smartest (for marking diphthongs). I //do// use it for that in my other constructed languages, but it's something I'm possibly going to abandon. Though what I'd use the diaeresis for otherwise I don't know. **Third Note**: One other reason for the rework is that I don't really agree with myself anymore on a few points.
