First, edit the goddamn newsgroups line.

Second, you don't know what you're talking about.

One small note about Chinese:  try inventing a written language for
one billion people who speak, say, a dozen mutually incomprehensible
dialects, with hundreds of variations.

Extra credit:  make your language independent of pronounciation drift.

Can you say phonemes?  Can you say alphabet?  Can you say alphabet
independent of phonemes?

Everything happens for a reason.  If you assume the reason is there,
and look for it, you will become a smart person.

I'm not here to explain every reason you missed.
