| Mar 29, 2014 at 6:58 | comment | added | IQAndreas | @Kris Thanks for pointing that out. According to the article you linked to "Pronunciation respelling should not be confused with pronunciation spelling, which is an ad hoc spelling of a word that has no standard spelling. Most of these are nonce coinages, but some have become standardized, e.g. 'gonna' to represent the pronunciation of 'going to', as in 'I'm gonna catch you.'" | |

| Mar 29, 2014 at 6:46 | comment | added | anongoodnurse | I don't know if this will help, but in AmE, there are multiple similar traditional respelling systems used by dictionaries. The guides used to be printed on the bottom of every other page. | |
