The Basics

Almost everyone learned these basic writing standards but few still write in a manner anything close to the basics.
As long as the forms are recognizable, the variances don't matter.
When people complain about cultural differences, it's usually only a different the style of the same standard - not a whole new language.


If one is versed in only the Phoenician standard, they would have problems understanding and practicing a Western language (and vice versa).
Or if one is versed in only a minority standard, they would have problems communicating in or acculturating to a majority standard (and vice-versa).

Unless we make them about race - most of our problems are cultural, not racial.
