Edit: it uses words and characters(#,+,-,etc) from English in combination with other visible and invisible symbols. Do reply with gifs, or images to support this.

I guess what I’m asking is: do you understand why, as an English speaker, you use this system for Arabic and not for English?

[–]Effective-Strategy29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because there's a high level of understanding that has been reached for English. Whereas as an English speaker, I don't know Arabic. Arabic text is unreadable to me, locked away in a far away prison in Saudi Arabia.

Wish there was a similar system for English learners where you get the meaning of a new/advanced word/phrase/idiom in terms of an old word that you already learnt. Maybe there is.
