I think the parent is maybe referring to something else, that I also heard in a documentary: that all writing systems with a "reduced" alphabet descend from the same source. I guess the japanese case is a counterexample to this, b

Related question: What's the best way to ventilate an old european house during winter? I've taken up the habit of letting my bedroom windows (slightly) open at nighttime to have fresh air while sleeping. I'm unsure this is r

Personal experience: I came to like mathematics by way of computer science: so first got an understanding and appreciation for discrete maths, logic, etc, and only later on analysis and “phyisics” related mathematics. It's hard to say
