The Emacs web site at https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/ looks very
nice; congratulations are due for the redesign.

However, one of the claims it makes is somewhat misleading:

> Full Unicode support for nearly all human languages and their scripts.

Supporting nearly all human languages would be great, except nearly half
of all human languages don't have a writing system.

Perhaps it should say "Full Unicode support for nearly all human writing
systems" or "for nearly all human scripts"?

I'm not sure it's that misleading, but I changed it.
