+This is a set of alternate 'spelling systems' for the English language, and the basis of my own romanization systems.
+**Note**: This article is old and there is a high chance I'll rework it at some point. I believe that E7 is quite useful (to me and otherwise) but that it's a bit weird. It's possible a completely separate article will be made with the new name instead.\\
+I'll add that I don't know what the 7 is supposed to be. I picked the name completely by random, so it seems I was thinking of the number 7 at the time.\\
+One of the primary uses of English-7 –  which may or may not appear on this wiki – is that it can be used to differentiate regular definitions of words from my weird personal definitions, thus helping preserve clarity. IE, the difference in meaning between conscript and conscript (cùnskript) //might// be significant enough that a new spelling //may// be useful for it.\\
+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.
+**Second Note**: <del>The above-mentioned rework is likely to coincide with me finishing the [[lb:tl:tengwar]] article.</del> I was wrong.
+**Third Note**: One other reason for the rework is that I don't really agree with myself anymore on a few points. 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.
+**Fourth Note**: I had the idea of using E7 more regularly, but that may have to wait until I rework it. For example, since I've started spelling ‘through’ as ‘thru’, I realized it //could// be written as ‘thrú’ instead...since that's more correct per my own rules.
