That's cool! I would never have thought chemistry could be combined with linguistics. It could kind of work in english, but the radicals would make the words a lot longer. And since so many of the Chinese words come from the English word, we'd hafta find another language to copy from. But yeah, that's neat. I wonder if it makes the periodic table easier to memorize.
