From 85a641500d1cc37f7f67fb3704363fb4909e2221 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Harris Date: Wed, 22 Jun 2005 10:00:09 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Improve IPA representation of "PuTTY", as suggested by John Lunney. My rationale (as mailed to him): I think you're right. I got the pronunciation there from the second edition of the OED and my Collins dictionary at home, both of which believe that "pretty" is pronounced /'prItI/, but, at least to me, those two vowels are different. Both of them think that /i/ doesn't occur in English words, the vowel in "beat" being /i:/. The third edition of the OED, though, adds /i/ as an English vowel in its pronunciation guide, with "happy" as an example of its use. I'll update the FAQ following your suggestion.
