>> Admittedly, I've never heard of someone forgetting how to write a letter from the Latin alphabet.
> Yes! But have you ever heard of someone forgetting how to spell certain words in a language that uses the Latin alphabet (e.g., English)?
Erm... great that you gave English as an example but I'd argue this mostly applies to English. I remember wondering why "spelling bee" was a thing when watching shows from the USA because that wouldn't make any sense in Polish. Same with Spanish. And a lot of others. There are some minor things to remember and you can do errors but in 99,(9)% of the cases it's "you write what you hear".
It could have been a case for English as well but the reform efforts were killed so here we are with all it's quirkyness :)
