English has become the universal language of arts, science, business and technology. His weak point is a completely irregular pronunciation pattern. Some dictionaries deal with this issue using pronunciation respelling notation. More sophisticated phonetic systems have been developed, such as James Murray’s scheme for the original Oxford English Dictionary, and the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), which replaced it in later editions and has been adopted by many British and international dictionaries.
