	Spelling pronunciation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A spelling pronunciation is a pronunciation that, instead of reflecting the way the word was pronounced by previous generations of speakers, is a rendering in sound of the word's spelling.
		Many cases are ambiguous between spelling pronunciation and analogical pronunciation, and indeed may perhaps arise as a result of both factors operating simultaneously.
		Those who use a spelling pronunciation may not be aware that it is one, and consider the historically authentic version to be slovenly, since it "slurs over" a letter.

	Spelling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Spelling is the writing of a word or words with all necessary letters and diacritics present in the correct order.
		Approved spelling is one of the features of a standard language, and official languages usually have a standard spelling.
		Divergence from the standard spelling is often perceived as illiteracy, or as indicating that the writer is of lower class, or can detract from the validity of the arguments so presented.

	Spanglish - p. 1
		In spelling pronunciation, speakers modify the pronunciation of a word based on how it is spelled; e.g., forehead pronounced with an H, /for-hed/ instead of /for'ed/ which was the most common pronunciation.
		Cut Spelling uses the same principle of economy to arrive at the same spellings except in the case of [who].
		While Spanglish could be used to replace the current spelling system, the current proposal is simply to use it as an initial teaching alphabet, a pronunciation guide, a parallel notation, and as a means of understanding the traditional orthography (TO).

		Spelling doesn't help identify it, because it can appear as any one of the vowels, or a combination of them.

		By comparison, the silent E at the end of a word is a signal for pronunciation, but it is not pronounced itself: code is [kod].
