My point is this. If you and I both know how to pronounce a word in language X and we want to find a way to write that word in English so that we can communicate in English, we should choose the representation that best mirrors the way the word sounds, within the confines of English (ie. doesn't have all the sounds of every other language).
But. With words like Koran which I've written some number of times, I have no idea what it sounds like in Arabic and moreover I probably wouldn't appreciate the nuance between the way one spelling in English of that word implies a different sounding Arabic word. Thus, why should I care.

The flipside, of course, is that if I decided I want to learn Arabic (which doesn't seem likely) I would suddenly start caring about how those words are written in English and I would call people idiots who wrote them in a way that suggested an incorrect pronunciation. 
Ergo it only makes sense to complain about the spelling of Arabic in English to people who know Arabic.

We keep disturbing you? WE?? Or is it you who wants us to change our attitude, our sense of humour and the way we post? Isn't it you who said you will keep on giving us -REP? Wasn't it you who told me that you will keep on bugging me until I change my behaviour (or something of the sort)?
You don't like us simply put us on the ignore list, you said it, we are here much more than you are, our posts will be everywhere and if you don't like them, either don't read them or do something about it. That is if our posts disturb you. But you on the other hand, you intentionally disturb us with silly comments via the REP system.
Don't play the victim here, please.

Impressive, eh? And I don't think I've ever insulted anyone of you through rep system more than once. Actually I did it only once, sorry if that hurt your feelings.
