"Interesting. I was wondering about this the other day. I was reading about subvocalisation, which is where people mentally form words when reading. When learning foreign languages, this can be a necessary step, but if you get into the habit of hearing each single word in your head as you read it, it means that your reading speed is limited to how fast you can vocalise it (so reading speed = speaking speed, effectively)."

Well that explains my reading speed. Thank you.

Don't be silly.

There's no money to be made in those countries.

Can't post without a title.

Actually there's 14 stations already open, with 3 more under construction.

Plus it'll eventually (2012) form part of the Beijing-Guangzhou High-Speed Railway.
