Why do people keep mis-reading my messages?
I'm not saying that we can't use acronyms.
I am not saying that we can't use pIqaDHey.
I am saying that the font used on the show is different than the font from
the KLI. We can not decipher what is on the show by using the KLI font.
You can not use english characters to decipher something which is written
using russian characters. They both have the symbols b, N, etc but they
don't represent the same sounds in both languages.
(what does my [ not jegh ] licence plate have to do with pIqaD?)
I have nothing against pIqaD. I use it too. Just don't try to decipher one
font by using another font.
