1stly, I never knew it was called romanized nepali. now i do :). The reason i like it is because, sorry to admit, but I am one of the few who can't read the devanagiri script properly. i was never any good at hindi either. so for me, it makes more sense if someone types 'romanized nepali' instead of the unicode. 

2ndly, the unicode font for nepali is just too small (or is that typical of all devanagiri fonts). It makes me squint and squinch and takes me forever to get one sentence read. Now while I imagine that font support is limited, until we come out with bigger cleaner spacier devanagiri fonts, there aint anytime I'm going to be switching to unicode to learn.

Also, the 'lyk dis' is caused by a generation gap i assume. give your younger generation room to grow instead of criticizing their lifestyles. whether you like it or not, they are growing up their own unique ways. yamean? ;)

again, coming back to unicode, it is still 'hybrid' in the sense that the translations within the mind are taking place in english. haina ra doctor jee? ;) 

just my five-six cents.. :) cheers n enjoy ur long weekend
