  Adding letters to the alphabet (page 2) | Antimoon Forum
As I've said, if English orthoepy were not extremely regular, it would be impossible to correctly pronounce unfamiliar English words at first glance; and yet English speakers routinely do this, so clearly it _is_ extremely regular, as it is in just about every language that uses an alphabet or syllabary linked to the spoken language.
Well I don't know how to pronounce "orthoepy" even at a long glance (I just looked it up in the dictionary) and many teenagers who encounter new words are unable to correctly pronounce them the first time.
Pronounciation of English words at a glance is not based on scrutinising individual letters for correlations, but of a scanning process where whole words are treated as bundles, almost treated like pictographs.

 Wordcraft Archives, January 2004
Pronunciations / Mispronunciations:  cacoepy (orthoepy); sigmatism; epenthesis (troilism); hirrient; lambdacism (lallation); mouillé, rhotacism (pararhotacism; paralambdacism)
Some are extremely specific, but let's start with a general one.
Some sources say the term is synonymous with "lisping", but I would think it is broader, and would include hissing.

 1001 Questions and Answers on Orthography and Reading.
It is evident, from the number of inquiries made for such a book, that the works devoted to the subject of Orthography are very limited.
