They are? Hmm tell that to the Austronesians who dont even have tense in
their verbs, which only show aspect. To show time, we use adverbs of time,
like tomorrow, today, now, yesterday, etc. Verbs conjugate according to
aspect: finished, continuing, and contemplated.

Well, if you are going to make a language easy to learn for people, why
use an orthography that doesnt closely match the sounds? In my conlang,
the words are written as they sound. So, a speaker of Japanese doesnt have
to learn that /ph/ is the sound for /f/, because when they write in
romaji, the <f> corresponds to /f/. Just because it is beautiful doesnt
make it totally functional.
