In
writing, phonetic spelling is the use of writing system with a finite character set, where each character, or sometimes character sequence, has exactly one corresponding
phoneme (sound), or sometimes sequence of phonemes. The usual writing system for
English does not use phonetic spelling, as the same characters often represent different sounds; indeed, English has many pairs of
homographs, words that are spelled identically but pronounced differently (such as lead , as in lead paint, and lead , as in to lead astray). By contrast,
Spanish uses phonetic spelling; a word's pronunciation is completely identified by its spelling (though the reverse is not always the case; indeed, Spanish, like English, has many pairs of
homophones, words that are pronounced identically but spelled differently).
