Like you see "William Sha" and your mind fills in either kspeare or tner.

When you see "William Sha", you mentally pronounce "Sha" as "Sh" or "Sh", not "She". You're already filling it in with a vowel that sounds much more like that in Shatner than in Shakespeare, so you'll associate the blanks with him more readily

or not e

oh thank god, someone else here knows ipa

where are you in all the topics where people are like "omg do you say cah-ramel" or "care-amel" or "ca-ramel" and no one realizes that the shit they're typing doesn't actually make any sense or that dialects exist

Granted, I had to Google it to remember exactly what is what, but yeah, I recognize when it makes things easier. I briefly debated using it on a college essay to describe how to pronounce "apoapsis" before deciding it was weird and pretentious.
