Strange, this is exactly the point of it I don't like! To me, it's a
mixture between spelling according to pronunciation but keeping the
traditional spelling conventions for the representation of individual
sounds.
How come you're talking about 'pseudo-Spanish' pronunciation. I'd rather
call it the Latin pronunciation. After all, it's still the Latin alphabet,
so the old Roman's pronunciation of the letters still is the standard, if
there is any.
