Spellings

Some English words have two spellings - "gray" and "grey", for example.

Both spellings are correct.

As we no longer alter the spellings of loanwords to match typical English spelling conventions, this leads to many words with unusual spellings, like "guanxi", "qarin", "kawaii" and "burqa".

The sj-sound in the Swedish language has many different spellings.

I think that words like "eat" and "brought" are not good spellings! They look unaesthetic.

Ugly spellings in their language fascinate you.

For some years now, Zamboanga has officially adopted the orthographic standard for their Chabacano: Spanish spelling for Spanish-derived words and native spelling for indigenous-derived words. Before this change, there was a flux between Spanish and native spellings for all words. Some Chabacano people still are not aware of the official decision. Punctuation and capitalization follow those of American English and Tagalog. Accents are not generally used, except for the tilde in Ññ, which, to Hispanics, is not a separate accent, but is part of the letter itself.
