| | Writing - encyclopedia article about Writing. |
 | | As languages often evolve independently of their writing systems, and writing systems have been borrowed for languages they were not designed for, the degree to which letters of an alphabet correspond to phonemes of a language varies greatly from one language to another and even within a single language. | | | Writing systems always develop and change based on the needs of the people who use them. | | | The vast array of logograms needed to write a language, and many years they require to learn, are the major disadvantage of the logographic systems over alphabetic systems. |

| | I assume you are writing a file system filter (because you are rolling irps). | | | -----Original Message----- From: xxxxx@earthlink.net [mailto:xxxxx@earthlink.net] Sent: Monday, January 22, 2001 7:00 PM To: File Systems Developers Subject: [ntfsd] Which file systems support MDL-based I/O When rolling an IRP_MJ_WRITE, it is possible to specify that you want to use MDL-based I/O. But apparently not all file systems support this functionality. | | | Most file systems use METHOD_NEITHER, which means the user buffer will be sent 'as-is', in UserBuffer. |

| | There are several reasons for this: applications and documents rarely need to render characters from more than one or two writing systems; fonts tend to be demanding of resources in computing environments; and operating systems and applications are becoming increasingly intelligent in regard to obtaining glyph information from separate font files as they are needed. | | | Members include virtually all of the main computer software and hardware companies with any interest in text processing standards, such as Apple Computer, Microsoft, IBM, Xerox, HP, Adobe Systems and many others. | | | Alan Wood's Unicode Resources Contains lists of word processors with Unicode capability; characters are grouped by type; characters are presented in lists, not grids. |

| | Alphabet |
| | However, languages often evolve independently of their writing systems, and writing systems have been borrowed for languages they were not designed for, so the degree to which letters of an alphabet correspond to phonemes of a language varies greatly from one language to another and even within a single language. | | | The word alphabet itself is derived from alpha and beta, the first two symbols of the Greek alphabet. | | | The first alphabet that has been recovered was developed in Ugarit (in modern Syria), about 1500 BCE, initially to represent the sounds of a Semitic language using cuneiform. |

| | History of Word Processors |
| | The history of word processing is the story of the gradual automation of the physical aspects of writing and editing, and the refinement of the technology to make it available to individual and corporate users. | | | Word processing did not develop out of computer technology. | | | Before disk programs most word processing packages were "dedicated" systems, which were bulky and expensive, and did not admit computing functions other than word processing. |

| | Phonetics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | On the other hand, logographic writing systems typically give much less phonetic information, but the information is not necessarily non-existent. | | | It is concerned with the actual properties of speech sounds (phones) as well as those of non-speech sounds, and their production, audition and perception, as opposed to phonology, which operates at the level of sound systems and abstract sound units (such as phonemes and distinctive features). | | | So close is the relationship between them however, that many dictionaries list the study of the symbols (more accurately semiotics) as a part of phonetic studies. |
