    Once you know what the symbol is, it really doesn’t slow down reading.

        Obviously it will vary from person to person, especially in the case of a reading disability or the Roman alphabet not being your native writing system, etc. I think it’s reasonable to not spell out every single case and still suggest that it doesn’t make a big difference in reading speed once you have gotten used to seeing it, which happens pretty quickly if it’s used a lot.
