The other one I wonder about is Chinese typing. Alphabet systems, with only a few building blocks and many permutations, always seemed more suited to computers than character systems.
- mikeash 11y agoThis is not really a problem anymore. You type Chinese these days by typing it phonetically (in Pinyin using Roman letters, of course) and the computer figures out what characters you intend, with some help from the typist. It's not the most elegant thing in the world, but it works fine.
