This, along with the monumental ugliness of American Dictionary, is the devil's transcription system. IPA forever..

θæŋk ju: boʊθ! I do agree about the x-sampa/Kafka connection, and I am heartened that there are others around who agree that phonetic transcription should not include '_<' or counter-logical vowel representation. Yay indeed.

Actually, X-SAMPA is IPA. It's a way of transmitting IPA across the Internet using 7-bit ASCII, which for most of Internet history was all anyone could rely on to get to the other side.
