I might add that my CHINESE students told me a requisite to higher education and this is all about LANGUAGE AS A GOOD TOOL and not a 'bad tool' as they see the ENGLISH LANGUAGE...

Simply put - at UNIVERSITY, you are suppose to have a character/symbol/word count of a certain amount.

If you are to be an 'intellectual' you have to go much higher.


CHINESE characters deal with the finer definitions...the more you know - the finer distinctions you can make....this is very important for SCIENTISTS...therefore CHINESE is the perfect language for SCIENTISTS.
