7 May, 2024: fms is rebuilding. Don't expect much in that section for quite a few days, maybe longer.
Also, overboard does not work right now. If I knew why, I'd fix it!

There's a reason we have a separate system for pronunciation guidance.

I agree with you on the rules and usage. There is no argument on that, but a lot of people do not use it that way, including byself. Yeah, it's a bad habbit and I should try to change it.
