    Spelling things how you say them can lead to people misunderstanding or causing unintended(?) pain.

      We write our language (swiss-german) like this 😂 everything is allowed and there are strangely very little misunderstandings. Only bad thing about is, that swiping keyboard rarely work with it.

        I do with English would switch to phonetic spelling, including the eventi of the speaker, but we’re never going to switch. At least the standardized spelling does have a very minor advantage in terms of disambiguation with homophones. But then we had to go and mess up read/read and lead/lead.

          Read/ret lead/let -> easy 😜 but how to write “do” I mean it is not a normal spoken “o” and not exactly a “u” like it is a “u” but without (yo)u Write phonetic is more easy in German, I think, or maybe only because it is my birth language 🤔
