longfenglim 2028 cr points Send Message: 22 / M / Guess Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 10/10/10, edited 10/10/10 They both have their merits- Traditional Characters being much more in the way of aesthetics, with the ackward placements of simplified characters being much off putting, but with Simplified Characters, being, well, simplified, easier to learn, write, &c. I do not really care, only I prefer that something written compactly, such as subtitles and newspapers, to be written in simplified characters, making it easier to recognise the character. When Traditional characters are placed in such a way that everything is compact, it sometimes tends to look like a giant blob of something vaguely resembling a character. Of course, I may be wrong, and I wish to be refuted by someone who actually uses the written language on a daily basis (unlike in America).

For me personally, it does boil down to aesthetics. It seems, though, that quite a number of Taiwanese (or at least 1st generation Taiwanese-Americans, and specifically my parents' generation and friends, many of whom are quite pro-Taiwan and anti-Mainland China, whose Christmas cards I would try reading for practice) know and use some simplified forms routinely.
