So it sets up the shape of things for you, but can't fill them in. That follows--and if you learn from an unskilled translator or bad penman, you'll spend all that time unlearning bad habits. [He lapses silent as he dwells on the method's potential failings, turning them round in his head.

And then he realizes he's being a little rude.] --Ah, sorry. Got carried off thinking about the other problems that might come up with it. D'you-- [under his breath,] damn,-- How late has it gotten? Have you got time for a few more questions?

[Thinking of that,] So your glyphs--I'd meant to ask, and would like to before I forget again--do they look much like ours?
