GRSSK fail

[IMG]file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/bgiannaras/Desktop/Greek%20Fail%202.png[/IMG]I'm tired of seeing the letter Sigma used as an E in titles, especially by those who should no better.
GREEK the TV series and My Big Fat Greek... are examples of my pet peeve.
anybody else?

Sorry, but I laughed.

This has been discussed many times. For a recent example: Inserting our Greek letters into words.

and people substitute E for Eta, when it should be H. my chapter gets all jacked up in abbreviation as it has an Eta and a Sigma. we're either ENS or HNE. no one gets it right.
