The Pronunciation Rules and The Writing System

[M.Mozaffary]

hi dear reader

about three years ago i asked one of my teachers that it's possible to find out the pronunciation of the English words without using dictionary or any program? and he said NO.
and that's why i started to findout these rules and now after 3 years research i think that i find these rules. with these rules you can find the place of the stress and the pronunciation.
but how its work? first you should be able to sprate the prefixed and the suffixes from the base word, e.g. Mirror ===> prefix= NO base word=Mir suffix=or.
then you can find the pronunciation of each letters (that is m,i,r) and find pronunciation of the suffix (i have a complete list of suffixes and prefixes with its pronunciation) and the stress. about the stress it's good to know that the prefixes and the suffixes are the most important thing that can change or even make the stress! the words that is root and desn't have any prefix or suffix, doesn't have any stress, like: Stop, Count, pot. the words that have only base word and suffix(es) (base word + Suffix(es)) have stress on the first syllable like: later, common, Credit. the words that have prefix(es) and base word (Prefix(es) + base word) or prefix(es) and base word and suffix(es) (Prefix(es) + base word + Suffix(es)) have stress on the syllable between the prefix(es) and base word so if the word has one prefix so it has stress on the second syllables and the word that has two prefixes, has stress on the third syllables and ... . of course there is so many things else that i can't write cause you should read the rules first. the pronunciation rules has over 100 rules that is helpful for the people that wants to pronunce the new words better and how have problem in writing. these rules can be use for 83% of the english words and the other 17% is for the words that had been changed its writing or the words that completly translate from the other language. i wrote a book about these rules but i didn't publish it yet so i can't send all of these rules. here is some of that rules.

You say that people should find the pronunciation of each letter (m-i-r is your example). How would this workfor leter groups like 'th'?

[M.Mozaffary]

hi

in these rules you can find even the combined letters like th, sh, ch, ae, au, eo ....

so what do yo think about this? do you think these rules are useful or not?
