The Japanese, Chinese and Koreans have been doing that, you know, so why not us? There's even Hebrew and Amharic to round up the list. I'd like to see that development someday, where at least a part of our culture is preserved and being readied for the next genreation... > > > > It's _gtklp_, btw.

But of course I don't do that, it would have straight Fs for me ;D Is there a 'public' and 'private' char I'm doing?
