The same happens a lot in other languages too, usually not as much as in English, but a lot more than they think it does.

And it would not be solved by adding phonetic markers (like Vietnamese) or changing the rules for phonetic characters (like Japanese kana), because social trends will still result in changing some pronunciations and the new rules will become just as obsolete as the old rules were.

Yes, I suspected this was true, I just know that in talking to native speakers of other languages (there are a lot of those at Microsoft!) that no one ever seemed to think their language did it more....

Turkish folks sign on IRC a lot - or, at least, my IRC network (Nightstar) - and when they do they use the "windows-turkish" character set for 8-bit character sets (which the RFC demands and most clients use - though many modern clients use UTF-8) When they say I-with-dot or i-without-dot, they show up as Ý and ý, respectively. The cases are, of course, mixed in the way mentioned above, so when they miss (or just are lazy) it's rather obvious.
