No. Well, probably not, I think. Most U.S. dictionaries use an English-specific phonetic system, I am pretty sure.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:42pm
Handy Haversack:

↳ Handy Haversack @4:41
Thanks, Wikipedia!

""Phonemic" systems, as commonly found in American dictionaries, consistently use one symbol per English phoneme. These systems are conceptually equivalent to the International Phonetic Alphabet commonly used in bilingual dictionaries and scholarly writings but tend to use symbols based on English rather than Romance-language spelling conventions and avoid non-alphabetic symbols."

Marie in Chicago:

↳ Handy Haversack @4:42
Oh, very interesting. Thank you, Handy @). Very sad and tragic that the American educational system was actually sold a bill of goods by a business selling an alternate method of reading instruction that replaced phonetics in most schools, and produced a lot of kids who could not read very well. Many school systems (eg, NYC's) have now gone back to phonetics.
