Quoting from [opalcutter]:

To cultures that do not use the 3,000 year old phonetically based ABCD system, the ABCD system looks funny.

Wouldn't this issue be a matter of cultural perspective? Ethnocentricity?

Replying to [Professor Carl]:Yes, true, before I get to know English, I thought it was funny. I am quite okey about English now. However, I would still think other languages other than English and Chinese are funny. Here I do not mean anything, just the first feeling about something new.
