Comrade Pravit recently tested himself on the characters he was supposed to know. The exact amount is 67, as of the writing of this post. I am going to attempt to add 10-20 to that number later today.

There's gonna be some real competition now...hehehehehheh...you realize I have been learning Arabic for the past month or so just to beat you, as I have more or less lost all interest in it..

Propp: My book was written in 1958, so it has a lot of Communist stuff, and they are halfway to switching to simplified chars. Some of the chars are taught in traditional form, some of them in simplified.

I'm sure there's another way to input Chinese. There are a lot of 3rd-party IMEs on the net floating around. I will look later today.
