characters or alphabet?

I've decided that alphabetical languages are more efficient than those that use characters. Since they are more efficient, they are superior and relevant (in my opinion). Damn that sounds racist, it's not meant to be. An alphabetical language is more variable. Characters have a huge limit on them- both functionally, as well in the memory (and usage) in the minds of said language speakers; it limits self expression to those who know the most characters. I appreciate that even though it's close to impossible to learn, people can express themselves with facility in English after learning the alphabet. Once one learns the actual system itself, all of a sudden one can apply to to any word in order to derive meaning. So be happy! Our language is infinitely variable, and we can even make up our own neologisms and people (usually) will understand our meaning. I love things that are infinitely variable.

Then again, opinions are like assholes, everybody seems to have one.
