You
really expect the intellectual giants who would come up with a nickname like that to understand the difference between Φ and Π or to wrap their minds around the idea that just because Φ becomes two letters (PH) in English, it doesn't work that way in Greek?
(I've even seen some Greeks do things like try to spell Alpha in Greek letters, only they spell it ΑΛΠΗΑ instead of ΑΛΦΑ.)
