Taiwan goes left-to-right

davros · 2004-05-12 21:29:46

Interesting news The Taiwanese government has decreed that official documents be written from left-to-right instead of top-to-bottom. Since China is mostly left-to-right, and it is acceptable in Hong Kong and Japan to write left-to-write, I wonder if Asian countries will settle on that standard eventually.

I read this sometime ago. I think this is a very bad thing, all asian countries are now losing their indivuality and uniqueness. Nearly every Asian country now are being westernised. :mad:
