if I'm reading it right, that's the very thing we're trying to *avoid*: having foreign characters that look like ASCII is/was the basis for quite a number of phishing sites. [-] |

As a Russian language minor, I'm wondering what letter looks like a backwards B... |
|
|
Probably thinking of the "ya" sound, [RayfordSteele]. |
|
|
We already use a foreign alphabet to write English.
Our own alphabet is runic. |
|
|
Sorry, should have been backwards R. |
|
|
Do you mean something like volapuk, the old system for using Latin alphabet characters for Russian characters as mentioned in Spook County, William Gibson? |
|
|
Better if done cursively. |
|
|
Surely this is what doctors have been doing for decades? |
|
|
I have a lot of sympathy for that. My handwriting is not easily legible because i have to maintain eye contact with my patients or watch their body language and so on, so i can't look at what i'm writing. Much of it is abbreviated or in Latin anyway. I imagine doctors have the same thing going on. |
|
|
I think I'd rather have my doctor give me a little less eye
contact and a little more legibility. If I turn up at the
pharmacy with a well-judged prescription for haptocmabn
stbtate, 20kg twite par gay, I figure it's a bad thing. |
|
|
If you got some good haptocmabn you wouldn't be complaining. Send off to South Dakota for some. |

I'm on ptabumeil already. Trust me, they don't mix. |
