This link doesn't work on my computer.
However, if you check natlunla.org there may be a
simpler explanation of why I say there are 10 simple
vowel sounds in Standard American English.  I can use
them with students from Primary 3 on up.  They work
really well in dictation.  The students use the 36
symbols in fun and challenging dictation exercises.  I
have the IPA in highest regard, but I'm thinking maybe
an International Phonemic Association would be more
pertinent in second/foreign language teaching,
occasionally tweaking IPA characters to pragmatically
suit a particular language in XFL environments.
