Pronunciation Field in Application Form
Last night I joined the Linguistics Society of America.
The online form had a field I thought was cute: how, described in the International Phonetic Alphabet, I pronounce my name.
I entered ʤæɪmz tʰæʊbɘ.
It just occurs to me looking at it now that, although it's a fairly broad transcription, anyone who uses it to pronounce my name will temporarily be taking on an Australian accent :-)
