"nope, the intention was to help uneducated chinese ppl to learn to read & write easier"
If that's the intention then it's a failure. Because literacy is not because of how simple/complicated the word is, it's the level of education a person receives.
Very funnily, the intention of creating simplified Chinese was due to "laziness" (or extra convenience), but then, guess how much time did people spent to invent it and to get use to it?
