#Are the pronunciations in italics and brackets to the right of each word the correct pronunciations, or the mis-pronunciations?  This isn't clear from the text.

:I think you should read what is there at [[WP:WWIN]] first. This is a direct quote from rule #3 under WP is not a dictionary:

:WP is not: "A usage guide, or slang and idiom guide. Wikipedia is not in the business of saying how words, idioms, etc., are used. We aren't teaching people how to talk like a leet cracker or a Cockney chimney-sweep. However, it may be important in the context of an encyclopedia article to describe just how a word is used. E.g., the article on freedom will, if it doesn't already, have a discussion about this. In some special cases an article about an essential piece of slang may be appropriate."

:This article is not in the context of <i>anything</i> encyclopedic. It is only about pronunciation, and as such belongs in the Wiktionary. This does not mean that it will be lost, just moved.--[[User:Dmcdevit|Dmcdevit]] 18:55, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
