The evveryday core of the Eenglish languaj consists of so many exceptions that I don't consider phonettic awwareness a major requirement for erly readers. You can use phonettics to successfully decode obscure scientific terms on a consistent basis, but for conversational Eenglish, the correct use of phonettic rules will yeeld incorrect pronunciations abbout a third of the time.

This post has ben renderred phonettickally compliant.
