Loan words

May I just add one more comment to the way loan words are being spelt in Maltese.

Do the people who are writing foreign words with the Maltese alphabet know how confusing it is for students and everyone else when you see the same word spelt differently?

Even I have to think twice when writing in English about how to spell particular words having seen them written in Maltese newspapers.
