re: #499 Kragar (Proud to be Kafir)

Knew a Finnish guy who told me he learned English before Finnish

Hm. Don’t know what to make of that.

Thing is, Finnish writing system has been invented comparitively late, in the 16th century. It’s therefore highly consistent with spoken Finnish and avoids a lot of inconsistencies between sound and letters that exist in languages that developed their writing systems much earlier and then over history developed deviations.
