Some of the accents are a little off since they would need to go in front of the consonants instead of the vowels and "dummies" isn't spelled correctly but other than that I had a chuckle :D (not mesnt to be rude - sorry if it comes off this way)

Don't worry, it wasn't mean! I haven't used IPA since probably secondary school where we had mayyybe three lessons on it, so it was bound to be off.

Gotcha! It's fresh in my mind again because of my SLT apprenticeship where we need to be able to transcribe what our patients say when diagnosing pronunciation errors
