Perhaps an error, perhaps not - Did you intend to write *bFbI* (BYE-bee)
and not *bEbI* (BAY-bee) on the infants' clothing? I believe some
people say it that way, but I thought it was a rather less-used
pronunciation.

Ahh! >_< I'm really no good at this. I'm changing that, now. I think it did look
better as *bFbi*, though.

In any case, that's not how I pronounce it. It's just been so long since I've used
Shavian, I can't keep these things straight.

By the way, I always confuse "ah" and "awe". Did I mess those up, too?

Or maybe I'm just dyslexic. ~_~

Okay, one more mistake fixed. I still need to make some changes to the poster.

Crikey - only just noticed this! Haven't been keeping up with the Shaw group
recently. What you've done looks wonderful and it'd really be great to see
some of these clothing items on the streets.

BUT - I should point out perhaps (hope it's not too late) that "Shaw" uses
'awe' and not 'ah' - like "shore" but without the 'r'...

P.S. I like the Shaw poster - it's great stuff and I'd like one for myself!

<nitpicking>

[dIpends] perhaps could be [dipends] but it doesn't matter
[anrIzanabal] should be [unrIzanabal] with an initial 'u'

</nitpicking>

Can anyone tell me what stage we are at regarding Unicode points?

Has Shavian been allocated some permanent points, and if so do we have a font that has the Shavian characters at those permanent points?

If the fonts we have have the Shavian characters in the old 'temporary' positions, should it be an easy matter to move them to the permanent ones?

Thanks

Thank you!

I say [dIpendz], though I could change the first vowel to better show the actual stress.
And I wrote [anrIzanabal] because, for some reason, when I said it to myself, I didn't
stress the initial vowel. I had it the other way, and then I changed it . . . . I think I'm
really losing my mind.

As an aside... (I know I know I've said it before) I still think we should
use the American Heritage Dictionary as a guide for pronunciations because
it is a perfect compromise of British and American Englishes. It uses
rhoticisms, it features indications of when to use up/ado, when to use
err/array, when to use ah/awe, and it's easily checkable via
www.dictionary.com. Check it out...

So basically, when anyone isn't sure about how a word should be spelled when
writing something for mass consumption, simply look it up there.

I believe they're in their permanent positions. I'm not sure, though. For Unicode
Shavian (when I use it, which is rarely) I use a font called Andagii. Information on the
encoding and the font can be found at http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/
shavian.html.
