Comment on The word "phonetic" is not spelled phonetically.

I mean, aren’t we using mostly Latin letters and sounds to spell non-Latin words?

There’s a phonetic English alphabet out there. Some Scottish poet commissioned it years ago.

It is named after him. But I am an uncultured swine and can’t remember who it is at the moment.
