The above are two of many consistent and predictable spelling notations or systems for English. Truespel (shown above) is more phonetic than Spanglish and always indicates stress. If the pronunciation indicated by Spanglish is close enough to be understood, that is good enough. Spanglish repeats most of the inconsistencies and ambiguities of Spanish orthography. It also contains some of the same ambiguities as TO with respect to the obscure vowels er and schwa With a typewriter or in ASCII, the accented letters can be marked with an apostrophe or left out. Published material should include the accents because this would avoid ambiguity with respect to pronunciation.  There would be no extra burden for writers:  The accents could be added by running the ambiguous text through a spelling converter.

NOTES Spanish has no need for o as ah since the a is always used to indicate this sound. Many English pronunciation dictionaries dispense with o for ah as well.  In Spanish,  o is used to indicate both the awe and the oh sounds.  Before a consonant (that is, in the checked position) o is usually awe.  In the terminal position, o is usually pronounced oh.  The shift is mild enough to allow Spanglish to retain most traditional spellings.  box would be pronounced /bauks/ which in context would be close enough for the correct interpretation.  Going the reverse direction, Car wash could be respelled cor wosh.  cor is not quite right but wosh is actually the way that some people pronounce wash. Hi cot the caet on the cat represents phonetic spelling.  Hi cot the caet on the cot represents the kind of compromise spelling found in Spanglish.  ô is positioned as a checked vowel because of the /ou/ shift.  /ou/ becomes oa /oà/  to avoid confusion with 2 correspondences in TO. The oald man cold out tu the laoman but hiz vois waz so lo hi waz not herd. The old man called out tu the lawman but his voice was so low he was not heard. out may have been right 1000 years ago.  If o = awe it is still close today.  However, most people pronounce it æ-oo-t.  The basic problem with using OU as the correspondent is elsewhere. Should ou be substituted for /au/?  Should sound be spelt saund or sound?  If the switch was made, then au could be used for the free awe  As in (its the lau). All changes have ramifications.  It may draw the new orthography closer to the traditional form in one place, but ground is lost in another.  soul = saul
