"Critics of ad hoc pronunciation schemes point out that such schemas are 
inherently self-referential, since they rely on the ability of the 
reader to already know how a large number of words are commonly 
pronounced. In addition, such schemas often assume a certain language, 
dialect or accent on the part of the reader, and due to its popularity 
in the US, this is very often a US accent."
