Because there is an element of drawing in it, I wonder if it takes time to draw those things. I'm thinking in comparison to Chinese, the symbols are seemingly complex, but actually only take a few brush strokes to complete one character. For me, a few brush strokes like Chinese is the equivalent of a few strokes of a keyboard, which is the beauty of the computer software program, else it would sometimes become very frustrating for a particularly complicated sign. I, personally, favor, Sign Shorthand for a handwriting system, as it is the equivalent of "script" compared to "Block Printing" for a spoken language. Charles Butler | ||||||||
