Comment title: poor example of multi-letter phonemes
Comment:
# for example 'wr' and 'ng' in "writing" ...
For the 'wr' in writing, it is generally perceived that the w is silent and the 'r' alone gives its sound. And then for the 'ng', unless they've taken Linguistics, most English speakers don't notice that it's a separate phoneme.
So I suggest you use "thing", because "th" is definitely a single phoneme.
