Well, that'll be nice for you but will just confuse the rest of us and embroil
you in endless pointless arguments.

It seems that the use of [V] (turned "v") for the vowel of "fun" is not 100%
correct; however it is the standard way of doing so in Britain.  People like
me are never going to learn from you about the differences between the British
and American vowel phoneme schemes if you lead us astray in this way.
