I'd like a plain english definition of the following terms:

phoneme
phone
allophone
morpheme
morphology
orthography

Also, in relation to these terms, when should I use // and [] to enclose
sounds?  I think I understand about half of them, but I wanna be sure, and I
think other people would appreciate the clarity.
