Agreed! In a different context, look even further back at Chinese calligraphy, if you can find someone knowledgeable to explain it. Fascinating to explore the way it's evolved from pictographs, and I only know a little of it. It's a very rich non-linear language because each character in its essence represents not a sound but an idea. Jeff . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
