Proper Hawaiian spelling? Are you trying to tell me that the indigenous people of Hawaii were using the English alphabet, or anything close to it, when white people showed up? If you are then you are completely full of shit. If you aren't, then the very idea that there could be a proper Hawaiian spelling is complete bullshit.
