There seems to be a concerted effort to ruin one of the strongest advantages Malta has, our good knowledge of the English language, but at the same time also ruining our own Maltese. I can only but imagine with what difficulty young students nowadays have to deal with languages.

Why on earth would anyone decide, for instance, to name an agency “Support” but then refer to it as “Sapport”! The mind boggles.

Do those experts that have decided on using phonetics really think they will save the Maltese language or are they attempting to ruin our knowledge of Maltese and English?
