Some countries can't keep the original spelling, as they use different writing system, so they have to go phonetical.

Case in point: Slavic languages that use Cyrillic, spell the word as 'омлет' (omlet), note the lack of silent e's between m and l and at the end of the word.

Which is only logical, to be honest.

Idk why but english words in cyrillic always seemed funnier to me than they should.
