Re: CHAT: An introduction

Hello...

Unfortunately you saw the same thing I did when the post came back to me.
Sigh. I'm not going to worry about it anymore, I'm simply going to type a
comma after the letter to indicate the cedilla.

Thanks for the difference between the cedilla and comma below the Romanian
S. No intention of creating a fight there, everything I have makes the S
with the comma under it look like a cedilla. This no doubt attributed to my
need for new glasses. One can only sit back so far from everything to
accomodate for one's increasing presbyopia.

I fully intend to use neither description of the s+cedilla as either Turkish
or Romanian, but to post my alphabet with the ipa symbols instead so that
there is no confusion.

Bonne chance mes amis,
Scotto
