UB2yoo, Brit is correct, there is of course not correct or incorrect spelling of a phonetic word, as its your spelling of a sound. I've stopped learning phonetics for this very reason and am now being taught to read and write Thai, which gives me the correct pronounciation and spelling in Thai, so I can chuck away all the phonetics. I decided this as it seems to me that you learn phonetically spelt words then Thai language, you are learning sort of two languages to speak one, seemed extra I didn't need to do.
