Haha, you beat me to it Jethro!

And Bob, which languages are you referring to which don't have spelling? I've been to many countries and seen and heard dozens of different languages, and they all had spelling.

Pronunciation can be an issue though! One time I was in France, and was thanking a bartender "merci beaucoup" (thank you very much), but he thought I said "merci, beau queue", which means "thank you - nice bum".
