Should I correct DD's phonetic spelling?

[ArabellaBeaumaris]

Dd in reception, writing danst (danced), bounst (bounced), prinses (princess) etc. should I correct or leave it?

apologies for slight detour

I agree with Mrz that pronouncing
^moderator, advisor, accelerator, actor, bachelor, author, competitor, debtor, conveyor, councillor, editor, traitor, visitor, warrior ...
with a schwa as the final sound is correct.^

And if schwa -er endings were all spelt -er, learning to spell them would be much easier.
This is one of the many possible simple modifications to English spelling which would make learning to spell much less of a chore than it currently is. They could all be allowed to have alternatives, like advisor/adviser already has.

but do you say moderat er advis er act er ? I don't no more than I say auth or visit or

But that may simply be because you don't speak properly.

does that apply to the majority of people in the UK learnandsay?

Doubtless I'd have to criticise each person individually.

The phonemic representation from the OED "mɒdəreɪtə"

listen to the final sound ə

www.teachingenglish.org.uk/activities/phonemic-chart

representation of what?

arghh!

the sound is represented in UK English by a symbol that looks like an upside down "e"

I'm not disputing that. What I'm disputing is whether or not right speaking people stress the |o| in proctor (and vector) and they certainly do.

If you follow the link learnandsay you can listen to how the sound is pronounced and it isn't /or/ and it isn't /er/ (unless you speak US English?)

Who owns language? Use-sage is king I say....I like having a 'living' language.

It seems that "right speaking people" do not stress the /o/ only pretentious people

learnandsay didn't comment

I think some luvvies might actually stress the /o/ in actor...

Chaucer

as I said "pretentious"

seems to make it more accessible somehow..although I've always loved Shakespeare.

and Chaucer

I love Shakespeare too after all it was accessible as it was the popular entertainment of the day

snigger just thinking about Chaucer!

Sorry besides the point.

This is interesting, even our Queen is less posh!?

Very amusing. And what's happened to the BBC English of the 1950s?
