Anyway, knowledge of greek letters and symbols does not always equal intelligence (as evidenced every day on this very message board).

I would also agree that intelligence can not be measured by whether a person can recite the Greek alphabet BUT if I were to sell an item on ebay, I WOULD TRY to figure out what a funny looking letter is called. That is to the
seller's benefit so he can get the correct people to view the item- thus getting a higher price! I think someone could easilyfind this type of information on the 'net.
