If elected president, I will do nothing but push for a phonetic alphabet.
Your pronunciation examples confuse me greatly. "ah" from "alternative"? "eh" from "bad"? Certainly not in my accent.
Could be a Kiwi.
Have you heard them say "not bad"?

love going on anglo wickypedia and looking up a country, city, or non-anglo person from history
pronunciation guides are first in some anglo gibberish fo-NEY-ticks with big SHOU-ty letters and nonsensical spelling, for some weird anglo pronunciation, and then IPA for the [weird] anglo pronunciation, and then the pronunciation in local language
por ejemplo
Hexbear (US: HAYKZ-buhr [IPA: 'hejks,bษ:r]) (UK: HEKS-beh[IPA: 'heksbษถ:] ) (Marxist Standard: Hexbear [IPA: hรคx'bษหษพฬผ])
