This thinking is absolutely on the dot.
One has to move with times and its inventions.

[Goanet]konkani script: creating problems where there should be none

[graceful]

Let us face it; a script is only a tool to write a language in.
The language is the content of what you write. With proliferation
of computers, it is easy to write software by which at the click
of a mouse, devnagari can be transformed into romi or kannada or
mallyalam or vice versa. 

Yes, computers are not widespread yet, but they could be made widespread.

Let people write in the script of their choice, and let scripts be
converted at the click of  a mouse.

But will Goans listen to this? Or will they be perenially fighting on
which script should be official or which is better?

regards,
Samir
