"Hey, I know English can be a confusing language, so we've included these handy pronunciation guides so you can speak with confidence! All you need to do is learn a completely different language with a moon alphabet!" "See that word there, you don't pronounce it like that other one that looks just like it. It's actually got a long 'A' sound, and that 'C' is silent, so you pronounce it 'dʒ' ã̴̭̚ɪ̸̜̰̋ə̵̫̈r̶͉̻̀͘ ̸̜̀͠/̸͓̦́̊ ̸̱̲̀θ̷̡͑̍ aʊər'" Grow up.

Different pronunciations are so dumb in the first place. I come from a language where everything is pronounced exactly how it's written. Bing bong problem solved.

Thats actually pretty funny, I never thought about how useless they are. Like if you're some kind of word wizard who can decipher them you can probably pronounce the word already.
