Notes:
I've been being pushed by 2ns to learn Korean Hangul for years. She insists because it is a language architected by scholars to be easy to learn and carry no exceptions, very similar in spirit to Aku'No'Breu.

The Hangul writing system is indeed incredibly easy to learn and use. I'm only disappointed in the limits of vowels and consonants, however most writing systems have such limits. For example, english has 'S' but no letter for 'Sh', no letter for 'ing', always has a 'U' after the 'Q'... a bunch of other major problems as well such as silent 'K's. The difference is, Hangul is super amazingly easy to learn, quite unfair.

I'm going to continue practicing Hangul for a bit to get the hang of it's limitations. This is not to say the system is bad, quite the contrary. I'm studying it's limitations to overcome potential limitations in Aku'No'Breu.

So far, it seems I can't pronounce the name "Stacie": Stay See. I can cheat a little on the 'A' in Stay, but still only comes close with "seu tei si" 스테이시. This is only a limitation because of the writing system's mandate to not have consonants live on their own combined with some vowels missing. Also, So far it's unclear to me how Hangul differentiates 'S' and 'Sh'...

Then again... it may be a different type of limitation I'm not seeing in either american english or hangul... perhaps an indication of the 'S' dropping off quickly into the 'T'. It appears not a problem in I.P.A. transcription: ˈsteɪsi ... more study required.

The scribes who created Hangul must have had a significant reason to mandate that Consonants always be accompanied with a vowel. Perhaps they were trying to avoid annoying exceptions? Or maybe it made the writing system to complex... I'll keep thinking about it...

No matter, Hangul is definitely an incredible writing system, very clear. Compact, simple. Learning it was very fast, so fast I quickly understood the construction rules even by the end of this first doc. A few more docs and I should be very solid in my writing. As opposed to Katakana which surely will take a lot longer to get down.

Drudgery:
Dear nits, I'm always referring to I.P.A. as my standard of interest. The latin letters of written american english simply don't cover what I need. 'Sh' is not a letter, "Qu" is stupid and that 'K' just doesn't belong there. I know there's a whole history of incorporating words from other langauges, a dumb history of taking words from other languages and changing the spelling to something that still doesn't make any sense. The inherited english words of american english is not the only offender... just among the smelliest ones. *grrrrr* rrrr rurururu hehe. HA. whut? wachugunahdu? WaChuGun'naDu?! Cayn'du-Nu'in. Bai Beeeeee'!
