Now there’s a question best answered by the Akkademja tal-Malti. I certainly don’t agree with spelling English words in Maltese. It’s very confusing, to say the least.

Fascinating is when you observe it from the outside. When you’re inside, it’s hell.

So why spell English words in Maltese rather than retaining the original term as is?

The entire enterprise is ridiculously absurd. Or should that be ridikjulisli ebzert?

Naħseb tapprezza d-differenza fil-pronunzja biż-żewġ lingwi bejn ‘Jack’ u ‘Gak’ u bejn ‘Bean’ u ‘Bin’.

Bil-pulit it’s not a “jew/IEU” sound but an open o (the upsilon-looking symbol in phonetics).

I’ve had it up to here with civil servant and their “hellew”?
