The lads in 2a, NYCASD are, contrary to my forebodings,
a jolly lucky lot; they're about to encounter the most lucid
- & thereby most seductive - of instructors.
But why, I cry with plaintive self-pity, did no one take up
my own little nugget about the semi-colon as Greek question
mark? I thought that was extraordinary. Did no one else?
Really?
I believe lower case alphas & betas & so on only appeared
in Christian times, even Mediaeval, & that the ancient Hellenes
wrote the whole lot down in capitals & even without gaps
betweeen the words. So when were punctuation marks first
used?
For goodness sake, Robbie, where are you?
Scottie B.
