Why phonemic symbols are different among dictionaries
Multi tool use
I find the phonemic symbols are different for the same word among dictionaries. Take the word "tuck" for example. In Oxford Learner's Dictionary, its /bɪˈfɔː(r)/ for British English and /bɪˈfɔːr for North American English. However, in Kindle's dictionary which is The New Oxford American Dictionary, it's /tək/. It doesn't make sense to me that one word pronounces differently.
