>> Hello,
>> Nemeth seemed OK to me when I learned it, although there seemed to be quite a few signs that were a little un necessary. But I haven't touched Nemith in over 3 years, so my memory is probably faulty.
>> I just hope that things become more compact and less cumbersome to learn. It's my experience that life is better for everyone when language is logical and not full of signs that take lots of education to understand. (Like English!) Who wants to keep spelling knife with a k. Who wants to keep putting Ee at the end of all their words? Why not be like the Italians and spell neutrino just like it sounds?
