Following the discovery by @benkasminbullock of an inconsistency with borrowers' (#17) and my cleanup of duplicates (#18), here are some resulting non-duplicates with inconsistencies. Each of those many entries should be investigated individually to analyze why there is a difference of phonemes between the two graphies. Each pair from this list may need a stress correction.

I think its better to escalate that to Prof Rudnicky [email protected] and cmusphinx-devel, I do not think he reads this. Then we can just fix the mismatches.

@nshmyrev thank you. May I leave to you the task to notify this Professor? I don't use emails.

@nshmyrev it sounds like nothing's happened on this issue. I'd like to use this dictionary for my project. Should I go ahead and email Prof Rudnicky?

I just saw this comment. Apologies for not seeing it earlier. cmudict has various inconsistencies, some of which make sense. For example, these entries seem to include dialectal differences.

cmudict was originally created as a resource for speech recognition research, so these inclusions made sense at the time. ASR has moved on and dictionaries are less important than they used to me.. Other uses (e.g. TTS) do need consistency. Informally, variants were ordered so that the "most common" version was (1). That's subjective...
