I hate it when people do that. It looks tacky and it's super annoying when they (mis)use a script you can read.

"My Big Fat GRSSK Wedding" was a big offender there.

It also plays havoc with screen readers! I feel sorry for any blind people scrolling down the home page at the moment.

I taught myself to read Greek recently and couldn’t parse it at first either.

Yeah.

My eyesight is terrible and my recollection of Greek is lousy, but I was going "Aren't those Ms?? Isn't that a D?"

Thank you for that.
