One thing to be said for phonetic spelling is that it makes the lives of dyslexics 
easier. Indeed, in Spain and Italy (presumably Portugal, too), the amount of 
diagnosed dyslexics is vastly smaller than in the UK, for this very reason.

Its a diagnosis thing - dyslexia involves not being able to perceive the positioning of the letters in words - phonetics doesn’t help and has been shown to slow down the progress of dyslexics.
