It's all scribbles. When I was 4, I used to think hyrogliphics were markings made by children...

They were made by adults.

I suppose most Chinese people don't know all ideograms. Anyway, none of us knows all English words :|

This is why you asked me what a conjugation was a few hours ago... :tssk:
And what about the verb defenestrate?
