The Future MUST be "BAOZI" ('Chromatic Pin-Yin')
says Queen Elizabeth. "If we are to communicate in
both
the Roman keyboard and in BIG 5, we must adapt to the
methods which most ally themselves to real-time
applications on the 'Net. " her Majesty said, last

and
cantonese, and in Characters and Roman letters, a good
way in which to teach English, in Hong Kong schools."
