   Curious as to why the Indic long and short 'i' matras (diacritics) are used. The placement of short 'i' (to the left of its consonant) is hardly intuitive to English speakers.

   They'd probably say "smartly written". But of course that wasn't the original phrase. My point was solely that it's not strange to us.

   "Write smartly" is normal to me as a speaker of British English. That's not to say the alternative shouldn't be preferred though.
