Let's start by replacing every ει, η, ι, οι, υ, υι with a simple "i"

Pronunciation: it's a damn complex matter, matching sounds of one language with those of another, e.g. no equivalent of the GR "α" in EN

Closest approximation of the GR "α" in EN is in the Welsh, Scottish, Irish, Northern English "stack" (open front unrounded), NOT "father"

Wouldn't it be a good idea if every language used the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to represent language pronunciations?

@PaulTreyvaud You: That’s why we’re the best in the world at it Greece: Hold my ouzo 😉

In a bar watching the #UCLfinal Two tourists staying in the small village arrive in. Buy two pints. Credit card machine down and they have no cash. Like most small villages in rural Ireland, there’s no bank link machine Not only did 2 lads at the bar counter offer to pay, the barman gave them fifty quid in case they want to buy another few rounds and said they can drop it back in tomorrow No matter how much this government try to destroy the tourism industry, the people involved in it will always win!! That’s why we’re the best in the world at it

@trishdevlin @TadhgHickey Better: crème DE la crème, lit. “cream OF the cream”. Bonus points for correct use of the French “accent aigu” though.

The crème to la crème in NI journalism are very quiet. Time to speak out on this. Why so quiet?

There you have it #MyTwitterAnniversary
