[quote=SANYACHINA,231482]"Take that racism somewhere else." I really want to know if you are a NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER why sometimes you make so terrible mistakes. Once I told you about one, now is the second time. The meaning of racism is"/// disposition to evaluate superiority using racial traits." If I mean that some SOCIETY is more developed or less developed or developing it is about : -culture -economy -society, etc, BUT NO THE RACE! I.e. I do not mean something racial because: -Iran -Papua-New Guinea -India -Guatemala -Swaziland belongs to different races and subraces, but may be in your imagination they are only one race?! So, please, before type something check well the meaning of the words, otherwise sounds very infantile. "The fact is literacy has nothing to do with writing systems and everything to do with access to and quality of education." It is not true. For example if you have to learn ony 33 letters and your language is phonetic one, you can learn it only for 1-2 moths and to be able to read. We hae enough examples from the East European history about it. BUT IF YOU HAVE TO LEARN 8 000 + CHARACTERS you can learn 10 years and STILL to be not able to read. WHY, WHY, WHY, TELL ME WHY, A GOOD EDUCATED (from UNIVERSITY) Han-Chinese woman 4 days ago told me : "I can't recognize this character!" And the character was just a CHEMICAL ELEMENT like F, H, O, Mg, Cl or Zn. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? "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." In English - may be not, because it is not a phonetical language, but Russian is mostly phonetical ( for example if you type in Russian LAKE you will read it like LHA-KEH, not like LEIK. The same is the good old Latin!) "1: I'd be very, very surprised if a 7 year old from any country can read any text in his native language." Not from any country. Only from countries and peoples where the language is phonetical and the alphabet is practical, easy one. [/quote]
