1) OK.
2)Trying to save your ad hominem with another ad hominem. Cool, this is smartness! Oh yes, I am the stupid one here... LOL.
3)Protip: you didn't mean /y/ sound but /j/, as in "yes" /jɛs/ - front unrounded semivowel. There's no /y/ in English (unlike German "ü" or French "u"). And yes, there is a /j/ sound in "piranha" for some dialects.
The "nha" in the word is pronounced as /nə/ or /-njə/, and the first "a" is pronounced as /æ/ or /ɑː/ (check Wikipedia). Since there's dialectal variation, you can just pick the spelling that sounds nearer the original [piˈɾɐ̃ɲɐ] - in this case, "piranya". Or propose another tiebreaker than etymology.
4)OK.
5)Sleep deprivation fucks my grammar. Not only with English.

Yes, I do. I'm showing that English orthography's worst problem is not lack of letters or something like that, is LACK OF CONSISTENCY.
