I think the Filipino language is the easiest when it comes to spelling.  Just write down the words the way you hear it.  Not like in the english and french languages (and others that I don't know of) where they have the "silent" letters in the words - letters where you don't pronounce but it's there in the spelling! Ok, to be specific:  psychology - the "p" here is not pronounced when you say it, that's why it's said that "p" is "silent".  But! in filipino, we can just write it as "saykoloji".  Easy, huh!

Then it's another level when it comes to American slang english.  And how they pronounce certain words only them would understand.  So don't blame me if I choose to have closed captions (english subtitles) when watching DVDs...

I read this from a local newspaper years back (should I say decades?)... american phrases and how they're spelled (and heard/translated) by pinoys:

SKIDADA HIIIR -- often said when wanting to leave (let's get out of here)

SKO -- shortcut of skidada hir (let's go)

So from thereon, when we wanted to leave, we'll just tell each other, "o, skidada na ba tayo?" or "o ano, skidada na!"

Then these phrases we made up in college:

"Huh, can't hear you, house and lot again?"

"Aaaw, you must be kidney!"
