"actmally rdrtable execmtable" that's more or less how it reads to someone who knows the Greek alphabet :-D
(I might be partially wrong because I've studied Greek many years ago and my memory is not good)
- hvenev 6y agoIt's somehow worse than "toys ya us".
- keiferski 6y agoOr Nee (Nine Inch Nails: NIИ)
- api 6y agoWhoa... that means Trent Reznor is a Knight who says Nee!
- augustk 6y agoOr Stack Overflow's "We are less than three people who code."
- BrandonM 6y agoThis comment is the top Google result for "stack overflow we are less than three people who code". It's not clear to me what you mean.
- mastazi 6y agoI think it refers to this[1] page with the header "We <3 people who code" where <3 is supposed to be a heart. (Probably people from the "post-emoji generation" can't recognise <3 as well as us old people ahah) [1] https://pics.onsizzle.com/stack-overflow-where-dev-x-https-stackoverflow-com-stack-overflow-q-search-63607467.png https://pics.onsizzle.com/stack-overflow-where-dev-x-https-s...
- tgb 6y agoNo that's a reversed-R which happens to look identical like a Cyrillic letter. I don't think that's a problem any more than getting confused and trying to pronounce a circle in a logo as an "o". In contrast, the text here is trying to look Greek but doing it poorly.
- btilly 6y agoThat Cyrillic letter happens to be pronounced "ya".
- oleganza 6y agoanother offence is using sigma (∑) as a stylized "E" or uppercase lambda (Λ) as "A" (see NASA logo).

- numerobis 6y agoReally confusing that they use mu when upsilon is available...
- dspillett 6y agoNot really confusing when you assume the intention is to look clever - the more different the letterform you find while it still being recognisable as the one you are replacing, the more exaggerated your effect is without further reducing readability. (Yes, I know this isn't "just to try look clever", ala 1337-speak, and is trying to make a relevant reference to the cross audience understanding the is relevant to a cross platform executable, but the point still stands about choosing less similar but still similar enough glyphs)
- StavrosK 6y agoThat's an English p, not a Greek ρ.
- mastazi 6y agoyou are right, I assumed it was a rho but on closer inspection it's a lowercase p
