Reverse Osmosis

RO. RO full form is Reverse Osmosis. In RO water purifier, it passes water through the
pump to increase water pressure then pass that pressured water through RO
membrane(semi permeable). During this process dissolved solids and TDS present in water
are eliminated.

In Ro, words are constructed using a category system. For example, all words starting with
"bofo-" signify colors; the word for red is "bofoc", and yellow is "bofof". Foster did not simply try to
design a better language in general, but to optimize his language for one design criterion:
recognizability of unknown words. Foster wrote about Ro:
Ro did not begin with attempting to rival or supplant any other language whatever, either
natural or artificial, nor was it suggested by any of them.
Unexpectedly came the thought: "How strange it is that there is nothing in the
appearance of a written or printed word that gives the slightest hint of its meaning. Why
should a word not be a picture? A new word, never seen before would then, like a
painting seen for the first time, convey at least some of the meaning to the eye."[1]
After working on the language for about two years, Foster published the first booklet
about Ro in 1906. The publication of Ro periodicals was supported by several American
sponsors, especially from the Marietta, Ohio area, including Melvil Dewey,[2]inventor of
the Dewey Decimal Classification (another attempt to categorize human knowledge),
Vice President Charles G. Dawes,[2] George White,[2] who mentioned Ro in
the Congressional Record, and Alice Vanderbilt Morris of IALA.[2] Several more books
about Ro by Foster and his wife appeared over the years, as late as 1932.
A common criticism of Ro is that it can be difficult to hear the difference between two
words; usually one consonant makes the word different in meaning, but still similar
enough that the intended meaning often cannot be guessed from context. This
characteristic is common among philosophical languages, which are characterized by
vocabulary developed taxonomically, independently of natural languages. A
posteriori languages, such as Esperanto and Interlingua, are more popular than the a
priori type, perhaps partly because their familiar vocabulary makes them easy to learn
and recognize. Conversely, a priori languages are seen as being more neutral because
there are so many languages and root words used in different languages may be
completely different.
Solresol was an earlier classificatory language that by using a smaller symbol set
achieved easier distinctness. There have been a few more recent attempts to design a
language along similar lines, such as Ygyde and the Japanese-made Babm, but most
subsequent constructed language makers have avoided this taxonomic or hierarchic
design for the reasons mentioned above.
