I've just deleted the folk pronouncation STOO-wihh for [stuwix]. Please don't use them. They're rarely accurate since English spelling simply doesn't have the means to represent most of the sounds of the world's languages, and there isn't any real standard for them. The result is that they don't convey much information. Even people unfamiliar with the International Phonetic Alphabet will generally be able to get an idea of what something sounds like from its IPA transcription, and if they wish to learn more, they easily can. Folk transcriptions like this don't add anything and look unprofessional.Bill 06:37, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
