When I was doing Greek at school 30 years ago, the Greek alphabet had:
3x different "i" 's
2x different "o" 's
2x different "s" 's
4x different accents on top of the letters!
Made no sense even then. I think they've simplified it since.
When I married my "Aussie" partner, she asked me to teach her Greek so she could communicate with my parents better.
I told her "forget it" and explained why.
And that's only the written, the spoken is just as tricky.
You can't really speak like a wog unless you are one...
Most non Anglos know what I'm talking about.

No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
