Chinese is the most compact language
If only we could post in Chinese! According to a recent study, the same text can be up to 70 percent shorter in Chinese than in English. That is, we could share three to four times more info within – say – a Twitter post with you. Chinese is thus ideal for micro-blogging, as these texts tend to have a maximum expanse of 140 symbols. But don’t worry: we will not switch over to Chinese immediately, as we don’t speak this very particular language on a professional level.
