STARTERS
----- what is the most legible language?
----- In Japanese, か or ka or no are used to indicate a question, and you must physically say it in the sentence to get your point across full stop For example colon
彼女はそこにいます。 = she is there.
彼女はそこにいますか？ = is she there?
Restructuring our sentences is more efficient question mark
----- if our lowercase letters were derived from our uppercase letters why do we still have uppercase letters? they are much harder to write because of the imposing geometric roman measurements ----- try and write in capital letters really fast ----- arabic doesn't have capital letters, each letter is cut depending on where it fits in the word
