The millions of people who write in RL languages would like a word…
- grayhatter 3mo agoa word, or a drow? But I'd also like a word with them. Or anyone else who might have a suggestion for "required reading". I'd like to think I know better than to use ascii art when it might flow into rtl text, but I wonder what other assumptions I've made that I should be aware are assumptions.
- Chu4eeno 3mo agoWe need to force the entire world to switch to Esperanto written in pure ASCII for reduced carbon emissions from glyph layout algorithm overhead and peace and unity.
- JuniperMesos 3mo agoThis is a bad idea for several reasons, not the least of which is that the Esperanto version of the Latin alphabet itself uses a number of unusual diacritics which are important for disambiguating words.
- sheept 3mo agoI would assume that "Esperanto written in pure ASCII" is referring to x-sistemo, which avoids the diacritics
- graemep 3mo agoOr Latin. More people know it than Esperanto and it can be written in pure ASCII.
- jjmarr 3mo agoMore like the billions of people that use non-Latin languages, or even Latin languages w/ accents.
