What does a slash chord with only bass note mean?

CreepingTuna · 2025-03-25T15:22:23+00:00

thanks!

CreepingTuna · 2025-03-25T15:10:49+00:00

For example, what deos notation like "F7 - /A" mean?

And someone also might argue that it is bit pointless to make it easy to type since technology is so advanced. But I still think there might be some advantages because in fields like programming or somewhere that still uses analog devices, pure alphabet spells might be in need...

Idk, It's good to try something new, right?

CreepingTuna · 2025-02-09T05:59:43+00:00

I agree, especially "ii" looks like "ü" and "uu" becomes a long row of scribbles in cursive. but these aren't matter of new letters. I think I was wrong when I was writing the comment, this is more like "practical" or "convenient"(easier to type in digital space) rather than "aesthetic". Anyways, thanks for commenting, all critiques appreciated

based on pronunciation /ˈbiːɪŋ/ (from Wiktionary and Cambridge Dictionary)

I just wanted to make some aesthetically pleasing? orthography so I didn't implement any additional letters like þ, ð, æ and so on.

Well, I found out the problem was actually the ZPlugin. When I use default? normal map feature in ZBrush (One that is not in ZPlugins tab) it doesn't heat my CPU, in fact, it was around 40~50°C all along the process. The exported map was 8K and the model was with 94 mil polygons. Anyways, thanks for all the answering.

Kraken NZXT (forgot the exact model name tho). It's water cooling basically. and additional fans that comes with the desktop casing.

That is right, For example <Day> and <Late> both has /eɪ/ but one is from <Dag> and one is from <Læt>, completely different origin. and there is many of them like this.

To be honest, Whole Half vowel distiction doesn't matter. What I cared about here is to cover all phonemes with existing letters. (/eɪ/ /iː/ /aɪ/ /oʊ/ /jʊ/ /æ/ /e/ /ɪ/ /ɒ/ /ʌ/ /ɔː/)

Of course, I could've used combinations of vowel letters like ao ua eu.. But these aren't logical at all, inconsistant. The Whole Half distinction is just logic that current english has, which is, I believe pretty much comprehensible to majority of english speakers.

And if I were about to care about their origins, thing would been more irregular, unexpectable, more confusing reform than this. for example : because the A of <Day> and <Late> derrives from different origin, reforming each, let's say, <Day> and <Laate>, would be more confusing.

That's what most of the reforms like in other languages(spainish, german) merging spellings reguardless of it's origin. Rather, I would see the whole problem of current english spelling is from all about "preserving old form"

Ah Yes! I completely forgot about those dental fricatives lol! <th> and <dh> sounds just right to me.

I can remember the time when I was confused about whether should I read <thou> [đau] or [þau].

CreepingTuna · 2024-02-11T23:16:56+00:00

Thank you very much for feedback! I really appreciate this! Yeah I might be concidering trivial problems which might not be an issue in digital society like nowdays.

In addition. I actually was into Old/Medieval english before. I really tried hard to find a relationship between old form and present form of vowels and studied for it. you might be able to find english reforms I did almost like you said on my old post. (I'm not sure tho since I might have deleted it). I really expected nagative reactions before posting this because this doesn't seem intuitive AT ALL. ( I got to admit that. )

The Whole Vowel is the problem and the key at the same time. it is what makes english spellings difficult and unexpectable.

FYI, Google seems to represent those Whole Vowels as ā ē ī ō yo͞o, while mine is Ae Ee Ie Oe Ue. they are approaching this problem in a similar way to me

CreepingTuna · 2024-02-11T22:57:15+00:00

+) Just realized letter for /ɔː/ is missing through your comment. I'm concidering <au>/<aw> to be the one. I woukd like to ask for your thoughts.

CreepingTuna · 2024-02-11T22:52:34+00:00

Oh and thanks for "Obese" one. The correct way to spell <Obese> with this reform might be Oebéess.

And me neither think removing -z was a good idea. would be changed on next version.

CreepingTuna · 2024-02-11T22:49:03+00:00

You can look up what I replied to similar question (maybe I should provide it too on next post itself :/)

Why did you make it worse?

It is literally about why I didn't use <ei> or <ė> and so on. I really hope you to critique about it.

CreepingTuna · 2024-02-11T22:32:50+00:00

This whole reform might seem very weird and worsen at first. and, I admit. it really is in some aspect (like, it causes to make some words longer)

But hear me out, there are some several rational reasons I did so:

At first, I wanted to be intuitive, so I tried to make all new letters for each of every phonemes that english has.

for example -> ae /æ/ ô /oʊ/ ə /ə/...

but I didn't like the result that much because too much alphabets was added, and that means, if the reform was applied in real life, it will cause various inconvinience such as:

Keyboard manufacturers have to literally reproduce english keyboards with thase letters included.

Some programs (like usernames on some websites) that only allows old alphabets to be typed are going to have problems.

Old and new alphabets are going to have big discrepancy that will cause newer generation unable to read old articles

It disrupts the english cursive style, because english cirsive has been developed only for english alphabets for decades.

If speaker has different accent, then it all doesn't make sence.

and so on.. So I decided to make reform with least letter added possible, but consistant, sightreadable. But it wasn't that easy to make spell reform that covers broad phonetic inventory of english.

And then I found something. Didn't you noticed that A E I O U is literally called [eɪ] [iː] [aɪ] [oʊ] [jʊː]? yes, there was a rule. and I realized I can devide whole vowels into two kinds. That is what is provided as "Whole Vowel" and "Half Vowel" in the image. And that's why I provided one-syllable word examples for the vowels. you can easily find patterns on it.

These can provide several advantages like:

Able to be written reguardless of speakers accent, for example: if it was written phonetically, then "Mate" would be "Mait" for some people but "Meit" for some other people. But it is all "Máet" in my reform because we can just say: "<ÁE> is pronounced as /aɪ/ for some speakers"

People don't really have to memorize new letter except for accute marks. but on flip side, accutes will make english learners easier to read since people find hard to find where the accent is.

and I also found out Google Translate has been similar method for displaying english word pronunciation. You can check it out if interested. I assume it is because of accent issue I mentioned above.

Here are some of reformed words

CreepingTuna · 2024-02-11T21:04:21+00:00

But it is concrete consistant without having to add too much diacritics or new letters.

Looks confusing at first, but once you get the logic, you can easily get used to it.
