Just for curiousity's sake.
Oct. 23rd, 2008 09:40 pmAll of the following is written in standard English transcribed with the Ancient Greek alphabet. I have avoided sounds that the Greek alphabet does not have letter for, and stuck to the most common spellings of all words. (Note, Just because I am doing this quickly, I did not make a distinction between middle sigma (σ ) and final sigma. So sue me.) If you can follow, raise your hand.
σο, Ι θινκ θατ θισ ασ νοτ σο διφφικυλτ. βυτ θε αλφαβετ σκαρεσ πεοπλε οφφ γρεεκ, ανδ θατ μακεσ βεανιε σαδ.
θε κυικ βροων φοξ λεαπεδ ον θε φατ δογ ανδ θεν ατε ιτ αλλ θπ.
Now, why am I doing this? Because this actually scares people off from taking greek, and I think that's dumb. You know most of the letters in this alphabet, or the Latin cousin thereof, and it's not that hard to read.
