Speaking of Korean and the script, I have to admit that my jeyn script
<url:http://www.rhialto.co.uk/conlang/jeyn\font.htm> was based on the
thought 'what if English were written like Korean'. I did actually look at
Korean script before doing that, and I came to the conclusion that the
person who said it can be learnt in a day was a big fat liar! It still makes
little sense to me, and I actually have reson to learn it now too.
