<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 412500, member: 39&quot;]In some languages the spelling reflects the pronunciation, so you either need characters beyond the ASCII set and/or character combinations, to represent them. In English that is not really necessary since you cannot tell the pronunciation of a word from how it is spelled anyway. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Forgot to explain the two rhyming lines on the first note. This is the German text, in the spelling of that time ...</p><p><i>Schnell reift im Kläger der Entschluß,</i></p><p><i>Daß man die Antwort meiden muß.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>... which in English would be something like this:</p><p><i>Soon the decision matures in the plaintiff</i></p><p><i>That the answer has to be avoided.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Seems that the note was part of a series, and that one would have to collect the entire series to know the entire poem. Clever marketing strategy, hehe.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
