...because it's written right to left!? Ow, my brain. *twitch* And it's really not helping the people who're having trouble with grammar. She really didn't get writing is a pretty recent invention and people have grammar without it? *shrug* if you really want to try to explain, maybe try concrete examples? I know nothing about word order in Arabic, but I'm pretty sure Yiddish would work as an example of a language written right to left in which the word order for "I like the cat" would be just that-- "I like the cat," rather than "backwards."
