If you have pronunciation set to "US English (IPA)" in the Dictionary's preferences dialog, then with the unmodified dictionary, the pronunciation of "plan" is rendered as |pløn| (i.e., Unicode 00F8). But ø is the IPA symbol for the vowel in German schön or French feu. The correct IPA symbol for the vowel in US English "plan" is æ, Unicode 00E6.
As far as I know, the "US English (Diacritical)" pronunciations are correct, though I haven't investigated this in detail. Further, I'm only working with Dictionary.app, not the Dashboard widget, so I have no idea if the two are different. |
