I’ve been working on my own “cheat sheet” for fixing words that my SV singers sing in a strange accent. Here’s a simple example: Liam pronounces “and” as “ahh-nd.” It sets the phonics as “ax n d” and you need to change it to “ae n d”. Is there a web page somewhere that has all of the most commonly mispronounced words, and how to fix them phonetically? Right now, every new SV user has to reinvent the wheel, meaning figure out all the tips and tricks. Here’s another: if a vocalist sings “the” as “thee”, try “dh ah” for the phonics.

This is good stuff - it would be helpful for anyone else to chime in with any workarounds they have found.
I don’t recommend “dh ah”, that would be “thuh”. For “the”, I suggest “dh ax”
The word “drugs” has got me stumped. The default sounds like drahgs, and the closest I’ve gotten was (phonetically) “dr ao g z” but I don’t like it.
The word “every” is a challenge because in the US almost no one says it as three syllables - it’s closer to eh vree, so split across two notes I use eh / v r iy.
Different countries have different pronunciations for different English words, so what sounds good to me might not sound good to others. I think it’s important to document a lot of different ways to sing words, to give people options.
Even in the US, there are tons of different accents. People in Boston say the word “car” like “cah”. Southerners say “buh-tato” instead of potato. They’re wrong, of course. 
In Rochester, New York they say “Rahh-chester.” So don’t write a song about leaving a potato in your car in Rochester, I guess.
Liam and Natalie both have some sort of strange accent I can’t place. Hayden has a hard time with words like “more”, which he sings as “moah” by default.
I use SV mainly for backups and harmonies. I drop in the lead vocal (create new instrument track/extract notes from audio) and the resulting “translation” usually ends up with the words looking like gibberish but sound correct. There is a lot to learn from those gibberish words. I believe that even if you can’t sing, just recording yourself doing the phrasing then moving the notes is very advantages.

You’re right - that DOES sound better. Not sure what I was hearing/thinking.
If “that” sounds like “dat” when the word is in a phrase, change the phonics from “dh ae t” to “th ae t” and it’ll fix it. With Liam, he’s fine if “that” is by itself, but in a faster melody this fix comes in handy.
