PHilosopher= filosofo in Spanish, dropping the transliterated Greek PH used in English. Photograph = fotografia (So would StePHens= Stefens?). Where does Stevens come in? Stevens vs. Stephens has always been the name to cause me the most trouble- along with Mac-Mc-M'.

I remember a major newspaper of many years ago whose owner embarked on a plan to simplify spelling. The PH was tossed out along with some others. No other newspaper copied. The system was OK for common nouns and verbs, but broke down with proper names.
