Γ!!!

Gamma is a Greek G and Kappa is a Greek K, so there's nothing wrong with KKG. An E is not a substitute for a Sigma, a Sigma is a Greek S. I always tell people to say/write SK when they say/write EK.

In my defense, I didn't know it would let you do that! Most websites probably would say it's an invalid character. Please don't tell HQ on me!

Yeah, but if they're writing it by hand? The E vs. Sigma thing is lamer, but I'm sure you can see where I'm coming from.
