| MACROPHONE | Modernity Alongside History
As I sipped my deliciously sweet hot tea, my eyes carefully followed the steam’s journey from the white porcelain mug towards the ceiling and then disappear into thin air.

We should thus pay attention to the difference between a grapheme; the smallest written unit or in other words a letter, and a ph
