I write at a fairly good speed in Eqalar. Not at blazing speed, or the way a native would, but I don't suddenly forget letters or stop to think. Reading is another thing; I actually have to decipher things. The worst problem, of course, is that I'm the only writer (in this universe), so I can't practice: after I've read the first syllables with difficulty, I remember the whole sentence because I myself wrote it, and I don't really read anymore. --Pablo Flores http://www.geocities.com/pablo-david/index.html http://www.geocities.com/pablo-david/draseleq.html
