Homographs
Thanks Yug for creating this page :) Pamputt (talk) 07:54, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
Abbreviation
I think this sentence "Abbreviations can be used if and only if well established in the general public, ex: adj., v., n." should be deleted because I really think that we should avoid any interpretation. Writing the full word avoid misinterpretation. Something that may be obvious for someone may be not for another. Pamputt (talk) 07:54, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
Homographs non-nomophones and IPA
I really think IPA should not be used in brackets to distinguish two homographs non-homophone because the speaker should not be influenced on how to pronounce a particular word. So crooked (/ˈkrʊkɪd/) should be explicitely banned (or at least strongly discouraged) Pamputt (talk) 07:54, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
Man and woman
I do not understand this sentence
- In some language, word can be pronounced and recorded differently if read by a man or woman.
If this exist, then no need to use bracket. Two speakers (one male and one female) will record the same word (for example "vert") and we will be able to show the differences if we filter all recordings of "vert" depending on the sex of the locutor. So I think we can remove this section because it makes me confused. Pamputt (talk) 07:54, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
