Yeah, it's for the exact same purpose as IPA symbols. All I did was associate IPA symbols with letters already in the English alphabet and a few other ones thrown in. On the surface it's just a phonetic alphabet (for Ontario-accented English) that makes more personal sense than the IPA, but it's really only the product of a lot of time-wasting. Oh well.
Raised by Ontario parents. EDIT: while I've got you here, would you want to get on IRC? I'm bored.
ha ha I was just on IRC (I was also looking for distraction) Put out a call for 11:00 p.m. (??!!) But don't say "You're bored". We're not on the planet to amuse you. (well, we are a little) say "I have a problem and need some help" or say "I am working on a poem and want help" or say "I just read rob05c's thesis and wanna talk about it." Just kidding of course. Will you be up later?
I'll be up all night, in a non-literal sort of way. I'll be up for another 5-7 hours.
