| Dec 8, 2016 at 2:03 | comment | added | brass tacks | @WavesWashSands: Yeah, that's what I meant by "correct word division" | |
| Dec 8, 2016 at 1:49 | comment | added | WavesWashSands | I would add that for the orthography to work well, pinyin would need to be correctly segmented into words, rather than syllables. For whatever reason, properly segmentation seems to be practised only by linguists these days, but it really improves pinyin's readability! (Note: I am aware that even Western writing was not segmented into words until recent centuries, but the fact that the West stuck to it seems to show it's a good idea!) | |
