Michael J, I started out studying Speech Pathology my first 2 years of college, & now that I think about it, the phonetics class was part of that curriculum, rather than the Communications/Speech (broadcasting) that I switched to in my junior year.

Just never know when something learned long ago is going to come in handy.

I admit to not remembering all the symbols, just the ones that I used the most.

I work in TV news, too. Retired English teachers love to call in and give me hell. I tell 'em it's a living, changing language and that we're experimenting with new spellings. Then I go to the Chyron guy, smack him upside the head and tell him to use the damned spell check.

I have you all beat when it comes to being corrected for bad grammar. My wife is a professional copy editor. Fluent in Chicago, AP, and Military styles. In my house, I have to run my farts through Spellcheck. Gasp

I believe that would be "Smell Check".

CNN sure needs some spell checkers in the Chyron department. Their crawl has frequent errors and it's stuff you know has been up and running for hours. This morning they had a phone-in from their financial reporter Andy Serwer (also of Fortune magazine) and they spelled it Sewer under his smiling headshot.
