Thankfully(?) english has devolved into separate small words. I can get lost in 'Wiki' language articles. There are some languages (mostly North American indiginous) where you cannot get away without around a dozen syllables per word because each reference cannot use context defaults and must explicitely state provenance, agency, probability, &c. I can forsee the day when our written language is composed completely from IKEA-style assembly cartoon pix. The first glyph the kids would learn in Kindergarten would be the Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic of the man shielding his eyes from the sun to show where to start reading. All glyphs would be bilaterally symettric, except for the swastika and swawistaka &c to show twist-direction or quantum-mechanical spin vectors, &c. Thusly you could read signs in your mirror and nodody would have dyslexic reading problems. Good luck if you have both styles of traffic circles.
