Yes. But phonetic languages phoneticise loanwords.
Ie.
In Japanese the word “coffee” has bexome a loanword. But they don’t keep the unphoneticised english version. They phoneticise it to fit with their pronounciation and it becomes kohi.
(This is complicated of course by katakana and such but just an example. German tends to so the same, since it’s phonetic.)
Ie. German Kaffee from turkish kahve, or German Komputer from english computer
If I could go back and slap the shit out of the inventor of katakana I would. Can you imagine a French class in the US where some kid says "Joo my apple John Clod Van Dam. Joo soois Americane," and the teacher telling them it's perfect?
Ja, das haut zeitlich sehr gut hin - ich bin 1989 geboren und kenne die Schreibweise mit K nicht, aber laut Wiktionary ist es wohl noch 1995 so in einem deutschen Wörterbuch abgedruckt gewesen.
it is a way to vent, and venting/relieving stress can be pretty good. it doesn't really solve the underlying problem and actually adds some problems of its own, but y'know.
Screenshot of a social media post with title "Always check your child's homework".
Below the title is a picture of an elementary school worksheet...the type with an area to draw on top and a writing prompt with a few blank lines below. From top to bottom:
A drawing, seemingly made by a child, maybe 6-8 years old. Drawing is of a woman wearing a crown with a glass bottle in one hand and a microphone in the other.
Below that, the prompt: "To relax, my mom likes to".
Below that, the child's response: "drink tequela and sing"
Mistaken spelling of tequila was present on the page. Personally, I like to think that if this is real, the child asked their mom without context how to spell the word, and she drunkenly stammered out the letters you see here.
My kid recently did one similar to this. They asked him to make a story about a clown, and he drew pictures of Pennywise with full-on sewer and how he wants to get the kids into the sewer... our mouths dropped. I can't imagine what that teacher thinks. We also have no idea how he knows about the plot to the movie since he obviously never saw it. Kids pick up the craziest stuff.

I actually know Katakana and a limited amount of Japanese so yes, I know what you mean.
Great point about phoneticized loanwords though!

Small correction: Komputer is not a german word, but it might have been three or more decades ago.

Oh, interessant! Mein Deutschlehrer hatte ein Lernburn aus 1985, vielleicht ist das der Grund, warum ich es so gelernt habe.

You dont need IPA to make it phonetic though:
You can stick with latin and just make phonetic rules consistent so if you hear a word you automatically know how to spell it. Like in german.

(the latin alphabet is the same alphabet english is currently written in.)
German and Italian manage to be phonetic using it.

just because it lets you cope with other issues doesn't mean it's a healthy coping method

not saying it's healthy, just that it can have good effects

My partner teaches 7 year olds and a few years back they would try and recreate squid game at lunchtime.

Same! I think they know about it because of roblox. So they know the games, but not really what the show is, which is a little better.
