It’s sorta like memorizing the word encyclopedia. I’m sure if there were a handful of letters missing or wrong you could still read it. Because you don’t memorize the letters but what it looks like. Exactly how Chinese works.
Fair enough. I like that a pot looks like a pot, fire looks like fire, and a house is little house but it’s still confusing. You can’t really sound it out you have to have the shape memorized.
I’ll try to keep this in mind if I ever try to expand past my 100 character brain limit but I’m not sure I have the capacity for all that anymore, if I ever did.
