Unified Akan Orthography (Spelling Rules)
Note that this is different from the orthography for Asante Twi or Akuapem Twi, although it makes reference to these and Mfantse where they differ or contribute to UAO.
Also note that comparatively few people write in the Unified Akan Orthography. Most books are still written in Asante Twi, Akuapem Twi and Mfantse to date - each of which have their own spelling rules and standards.

Asante Twi:
Wayɛ adeɛ - he/she has done a thing
Woayɛ adeɛ - you have done a thing

Ɔbenfoɔ, what about "You've done well"? Woayɛ ade.

KNOWing is better than beLIEving.

The 'well' part is yie (Asante Twi) yiye (Akuapem Twi). The literal translation of woayɛ adeɛ leaves off the 'well' part. For a figurative translation, most people translate the same woayɛ adeɛ as 'You have done well' because 'you have done a thing' sounds weird in English.
