MessageSo the meaning of phonetic is context dependent, generally how speech 
ought to be transcribed according to circumstances and goals.  Our speech 
synthesizers, on the other hand, must do the opposite - from text to speech.  
They use some form of phonemes - or phonemics.

here's a summary.  Good news!  The phonetic alphabet can be either the 
linguistics representation or it can be a  phonetic spelling alphabet (where 
words stand for letters) , the object of our debate.
