Fine, there are cross-posted groups here. Given that or no, and forgetting History, for that is the one thing that History's good for, what makes you pretend Androcles is an expert, or even, merely learned, in hystericle (my pronunciation of your historical) linguistics?! The gravity of your presumptuous expectation -- handwritten or otherwise, for the blind or no -- defies ... err ... physics -- mathematical or otherwise. When one writes on Usenet, or some WWW, one has to allow for that "deaf, dumb, and blind kid" playing Who's Pinball.

Never mind. Actually, it means some funky character that I can't type here...it's drawn as a rectangle and pronounced "quad" by the APLinese....

Yeah, what sense does it make to save daylight only during half of the year.
