On talk

Help talk:IPA for English/Archive 7#BATH vowel:

Discussions of superscript r on Help talk:IPA for English

Replace /ɨ, ʉ/ by /ᵻ, ᵿ/; discontinue /aː, ɒː/

Consensus about these changes was reached in a lengthy discussion in Help talk:IPA for English#The Diaphonemic System, which all too often turned off-topic. Before that, /aː, ɒː/ had already been criticized in Help talk:IPA for English/Archive 13#Bad, Help talk:IPA for English/Archive 14#Variable vowel a:, or Help talk:IPA for English#Removing /a:/ and /ɒ(:)/, and /ɨ, ʉ/ had already been criticized in Help talk:IPA for English/Archive 3#Barred i, Help talk:IPA for English/Archive 6#Questions, Help talk:IPA for English/Archive 9#ʉ or Help talk:IPA for English/Archive 14#Sources for non-IPA use of the symbols ⟨ɨ⟩, ⟨ʉ⟩ and ⟨ɵ⟩, but in spite of all this criticizing, nothing was changed.

Before implementing the consensus on the help page, the changes were explicitly announced two times on the talk page (see [18], [19]). The most contended change was the discontinuation of /aː/, but even the user who had introduced the sign (see [20]) agreed to its discontinuation [21] after it had been shown that the sign is hardly ever used in the intended way.

Since the consensus has been implemented on the help page (see [22] and [23]), it has not been challenged or reverted.

Discontinue /aː/
Discontinue /ɒː/
Replace /ɨ/ by /ᵻ/
Replace /ʉ/ by /ᵿ/
Replace /jʉ/ by /jᵿ/

Add length marks

In Help talk:IPA for English#Inconsistency in length marks, a consensus has been reached that length mark should be added to /ɑːr, ɔːr, ɜːr/. Since the consensus has been implemented on the help page [24], it has not been challenged or reverted.

Change Preferred code before change (check for backwards compatibility!) Preferred code after change
Replace /ɑr/ by /ɑːr/
Replace /ɔr/ by /ɔːr/
Replace /ɜr/ by /ɜːr/

Replace example word “bedroom” by “situtation”

In Help talk:IPA for English#Reduced and Variable Vowels, a consensus has been reached that /u/ should only be used in reduced syllables. The example word “situation” is better suited for this purpose. Its /u/ is undeniably in an unstressed syllable, whereas the word “room” can be stressed. Since the consensus has been implemented on the help page [25], it has not been challenged or reverted.

Only use /u/ in reduced syllables
