I took part in an excellent study day today - "A Taste of Demotic" with Dr. Luigi Prada and the Bloomsbury Study School.
It was great to get an introduction to demotic; its history, the basic signs, the tools available for study, and the often multi-lingual context it was used in.
I'm not about to start reading demotic texts, but at least now I'll recognise them when I see them in museums, and who knows - maybe even pick out a king's name or two.
