And you think that principle applies well to... keyboard layouts?
- lmm 14y agoWithin a single language, yes. Obviously you want a different method for Chinese than for English, but I don't want to choose between six different ways of inputting Chinese.
- ryannielsen 14y agoCheck out the input method list on whatever OSs you use, and I expect you'll see multiple Chinese input methods. OS X 10.8 has 10, Windows 7 has dozens, a quick Google search shows that Ubuntu 12 around 13. It turns out that, with over a billion people and dozens of dialects, many different writing styles, and a long history of different electronic input methods, Chinese speakers really do need multiple different ways of inputing Chinese.
