Regarding your edits to country
You recently changed the IPA pronunciation of the word country in the article Country here, on Misplaced Pages we work on a system of verifiability, meaning you must provided reliable sources to back up claims that you make in articles. Currently, the pronunciation of the word country is attributed to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. Your edit does not currently have a reliable source to back up its claims, and thus has been temporarily removed from the article. If you would be as kind as to tell me details of where you found this different IPA pronunciation and I would be completely willing to re-add it to the article. Thankyou.

- Merriam Webster does not use IPA. It uses some sort of fauxnetic 'system' instead. Misplaced Pages should use IPA for pronounciations. And, if that is IPA, then I've never heard anyone pronounce the word country that way.
- I noticed you changed the pronunciation back again. I would ask you to please, before re-adding the term again, to state where you got that pronunciation from. That means you just simply telling me that name of the book you got that pronunciation from, its published date, edition and ISBN (or the website you got it from).

Do you even know what IPA is? Have you ever heard someone pronounce the word country? Look at Misplaced Pages's own article on IPA for English. IPA chart for English dialects Is there any English dialect where the second syllable of country sounds like 'tray'? Because, that is what Merriam-Webster's pronounciation looks like. Also, what is the macron supposed to mean? IPA does not use macrons AFAIK.
