25: 125:(EO). TSR is a relatively conservative scheme. It seeks to identify the underlying rules of EO but to apply them more consistently, thereby reducing the number of irregularities that must be memorized. TSR makes it possible to predict pronunciation from spelling, if not always the reverse. Words are only respelled when they cannot be brought within the rules. 232:
If in EO a letter or letters can denote more than one sound, the rules for predicting pronunciation are usually preserved and systematized. Also, some suffixes and other common combinations that do not fully comply with the basic rules of EO, but unambiguously determine pronunciation, are preserved
136:, sponsor of the Congress, is affording TSR a degree of support and publicity. During the current review period (five years), no major changes will likely happen. However, on the basis of comments received, it is possible there may be some modest modifications during that period. 1246:
Currently, in TSR, "flange" is respelled "flandge"(not "flanj"). And "anger", "banger", "hanger" turn to "angger", "bangger", "hangger" to indicate that there is no soft "g" sound and they have a short "a" sound rather than a long one.
196:
e) The letter e at the end of a word is not pronounced, but changes the pronunciation of other letters (lengthening the vowel). This happens in combination (vowel + consonant + e) – for example, in the word
1102:
The apostrophe, and hyphen / diaresis are occasionally used to assist distinguish homophones and predicting the pronunciation of some vowel combinations. ex. 'hole (whole), 'our (hour), cre-ate / creäte
1008:
TSR makes no special provision for stress. However, attack becomes atack, because "a" before "tt" doesn't have stress. Doubled consonants show stress location.(ex. edducate, perrish)
208:) If a monosyllabic word ends with the combination short vowel + consonant, then when an ending (for example, -ed, -ing) is added to the word, the consonant is doubled. Examples: 292:
In TSR, the spelling of a word changes from EO if it either does not conform to the basic rules (EO or TSR) or is ambiguous. The main categories of changes are listed below.
396:
Disambiguation for letter combinations, which in EO can indicate more than one sound. For example, the combination "ow" represents completely different sounds in the words
224:, because here the vowel is not short. In polysyllabic words, if a stressed vowel is followed by one consonant + another vowel, the previous vowel is usually lengthened: 1986: 892:⟨al⟩ only at beginning of words and where implying totality: always, altogether, alright, already, almighty; exceptions: words of Arabic origin: <algebra>. 1466:

In TSR, there are cases in which spellings of homophones will not merge. (e.g. stare / stair, sight / site / cite, none / nun, scene / seen, tail / tale)
385:, or the spelling of the word can be changed to match the pronunciation. Some consoles can be separated by a hyphen to provide the /s/ sound, for example: 2026: 1872: 1099:
Some phonemes have several different spelling patterns, which helps to distinguish homophones visually. ex. main, mane, buy, by, bye, cite, site, sight.
35: 1081:
TSR removes redundant letters. However, "easy" not "esy", "high" not "hi", "letter" not "letr", "lie" not "li", "pack" not "pak", "switch" not "swich".
