[quote=CHRISWAUGHBJ,231397]"Excuse me, but I was talking about developed societies. Please do not give me examples with countries where people eat without spoon/chopsticks, living in the junngles, do not wash bodies often, etc. At least I am glad you didn't mention Papua-New Guinea or Swaziland. :)" Take that racism somewhere else. The fact is literacy has nothing to do with writing systems and everything to do with access to and quality of education. Of course it's easier to learn 26 characters than x1000. So what? Learning to read the 26 letters used in English or the 33 in Russian does not make you literate. "a/ A 7 years old Russian boy can read every Russian text. b/ A 20 years old Chinese man sometimes can't read even "Renmin Ribao" without dictionary?" 1: I'd be very, very surprised if a 7 year old from any country can read any text in his native language. 2: Why not compare a 7 year old Chinese kid who can read Renmin Ribao with a 20 year old Russian who can't read Pravda? I'm sorry, but the facts speak for themselves. Although it is not easy to learn to read and write Chinese, education makes it just as possible as learning to read and write any other language.[/quote]
