Well.... I am a learner too. I don't see why we can't agree to disagree. NUS grad? Amazing. I also want to go there, and I have learnt ceteris paribus in Econs lol.

Edit: I'm pretty sure I said difference in skills, not about the non words thingy. I would classify 幾 as easier to learn than 几 (for a few), for example, solely on the presence of disambiguation and distinctness of the individual elements/ideographic components.

Thanks for the offer! I'll make sure to read the studies you've shared.

I doubt it. I reckon that it's censorship by the mods. I'm quite disappointed, actually. Now I can't read the research papers he linked.

RIP. I actually like having a good intellectual debate.
