Merriam-Webster

Merriam-Webster is an American publisher best known for its dictionaries, e.g. Merriam-Webster’s Learner Dictionary.

For reasons known only to themsleves, they’ve decided to reinvent the wheel and have their own confusing IPA-like pronunciation scheme, often marked in backslash brackets, i.e. Merriam-Webster notation.
