Languages with a phonetic writing system usually have less (or as much) symbols than they have sounds. Some languages, like italian and japanese, have comparatively fewer sounds, so there is less room for confusion. English for a foreign learner presents a lot of difficulties because a letter is not pronounced always the same (especially vowels) and there are lot of situations where a word is read differently than how is written (like business wich reads like buisness or be-sness and not like bu-si-ness). And the 'th' sound (as in path) is a nightmare for italian learners, but I digress.

Post-modernism being considered a literary genre with clearly defined characteristics and with precise expectations from the readership, and not simply a period of reaction to modernism, shows us how much post-modernism is over.
