That is so cool that their alphabet is, like, symbols.
Who wrote that summary? The 8-yr-old child of the soldier?
And I'm really curious what your original title was.
Edited to note that the fact that our alphabet is not merely symbols, but letters, is but one of a million things showing how much more evolved we are. Our numbering system is way better too. Those Arabs. Savages, scratching symbols in the sand.
