language in inter-national relations
( after english, before french, I don't know where russian is placed. )
( For "intra-national" relations the chinese may be right-out first)
what you call "funny symbols" WILL expand the scope of the internet. I'm sure that not having non-ascii characters HAS hindered international relations long enough now.
Hey, in german I see the "eszet" character dissappear, but TO ME the double-s is still harder to read in some words. (I don't like all_undercase_low_letters too much, nor do I like ALL_SAME_HEIGHT_UPPERCASE : Both are difficult to read.
And WHY should the spanish ~ or the french ^ or the german ¨ be more "funny" or "weird" than any of the others?
So I take it that "this is gonna be fun browsing from now on" is your conclusion, but that "their crazy chars" is a temporary glitch. |
