Bold of an English speaker to accuse any other language of unpredictable spelling...

Funnily, Italian is almost completely phonemic, meaning it's trivial to both spell and read words if you know the rules. English can only dream of that.

As an Italian, it took me a while to understand things like spelling competitions in American movies...

As a Hungarian, me too. We spell everything exactly as we write it.

Edit: the reply is right, of course we pronounce everything as we write it.
