Done In By The Cyrillic Alphabet

I used the Cyrillic alphabet in the title of the post about 'Umm Khaita, and now I have Cyrillic Mechs after me:

...видео эротику avi
порно видео...
"...video erotiki AVI, porno video..."

So far, no Mechs writing in Arabic....which may indicate that it is better to write something out yourself, scan it and use it, rather than using a font the Mechs can read.

You were so clever.

So you thought. That's ok, now you can just do what they do. Adjust.

I am SO glad we didn't have to learn Turkish in Cyrillic. Thank you, Mr. Ataturk.

Mr. Ataturk was an extremely cool individual.
I have always wondered whether Aldous Huxley sort of modelled his world leader, whose name I think was Mustapha Mond in the novel "Brave New World", on the character of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.
Not exactly modelled a character, but used a feeling of "newness" and "cosmopolitan" brought by the name...Ataturk was Huxley's contemporary.

Wow, that is so interesting, and I bet your hunch is right.
