What I meant by "phonetically-spelled" was words that are written as they sound, in an accent. For example, my algebra prof pronounced "vector" as "wecter" - his ESL accent didn't bother me at all, but if a novelist decide to write up a classroom scene and had him saying "wecter", it would annoy me no end. If a Scottish character says "I don't know", I'd like it written that way, not "I dinna ken". I'm Canadian, and don't spell about aboot, or end written sentences in "eh". And so on.
