Cute.

I have a blind spot of my own. I have caught myself logging the phonetic
England as an I. God knows how many times I have not caught myself and left
it in the log.

As I was born there, you would have thought it wouldn't happen, but it does.
Usually in the last hours of a 48 hour marathon. Consequently, I avoid the
use of England as a phonetic myself in case others do that, too.

Nothing like standard phonetics for avoiding these things. With the possible
exception of Porta-Potty, most nonstandard phonetics waste time and cause
errors.
