Thanks for that info. Wasn't sure how they managed to file, but now you mention stoke order it sound logical.
Just thought of another advantage of writing English in kanji, spelling. In the english speaking world similar words can be spelt differently ie: Labour-labor, colour-color, travelling-traveling. Written in a kanji equivalent it wouldn't matter if you were English, American or Australian the word would still be spelt the same way. Also would children find learning kanji easier to spell as it is based on pictograms instead of rules like 'I before E except after C unless etc..'?
