OK, fine premise.

However, the aliens were always writing on glass. Fact. So, anybody (the humans) standing on the other side of the glass, would be seeing all the alien's written words BACKWARDS.

So, the humans were learning the alien's written language BACKWARDS and then, displaying the written alien language back to the aliens on computer screens, as the humans learned it, which is backwards. Which means, the humans were responding in complete backwards nonsense and the aliens would not understand and single fucking thing the humans were trying to communicate.

IF the entire premise of the film was the "attempt to communicate thru the written word" with the aliens... THEN HOW COULD THE WRITERS OF THE FILM FUCK UP SUCH A SIMPLE AND BASIC CONCEPT AS 'IF YOU WRITE YOUR LANGUAGE ON PIECE OF GLASS, THE PERSON VIEWING THE LANGUAGE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GLASS WILL SEE IT BACKWARDS."

DUH.
Science fiction ...
