I too would like some clarification about “humorous prank”. Is it that - heaven forbid - people need to spell a Hawaiian name/word that isn’t ALOHA, LEI, or AHI? There is a 1:1 relationship between letters and phonemes in Hawaiian. If you can say it, you can spell it. After having entered countless words from Spanish, French, German, Latin, Hebrew, you name it… spelling out the most well-known historical figure from Hawai‘i shouldn’t be an issue. If you ask me, the humorous prank is crossing OLUO and SOO.

@Jamie Spelling DEFINITE used to be a problem for me too. My mnemonic is that there is a FINITE number of ways to spell it properly.

@Andrzej Presuming you’re Polish because of your name and listed location - I can hardly imagine any native English speaker having an easy time spelling very many Polish words.
