Remember back in the day?!
At school?
During English classes, to be exact?
Back when we had to actually pick up a hard copy of a dictionary & exercise our dictionary skills to look up the meaning of a word?
Oh, those days. I love the feel of books!
And do you recall turning a blind eye to those weird looking symbols just below the word that you were looking-up?
Fast forwarding to the era of chat GPT in the year 2023, you can also find those exact same symbols.
However, without having to go through that tedious, but very beneficial process of using dictionary skills.
In the world of English phonetics, the sounds that we produce are far greater than than the 26 letters that we come to know in the English alphabet. There are actually 44 sounds that we produce when we speak English, and probably more owing to the ongoing morphing of how we speak English and in various settings.
A letter has both a name & a sound.
