Yeah, I knew what was coming as I was treated to those 2 beautiful final dots of "farsi" in the of the page long before the page actually loaded! So what action should be taken here ? Shall I send a nastygram to the webmaster written on the official stationery of the Dots Police? I was even thinking of opening up a Yeh Museum the other day. If I can get folks to scan and email me these specimens of announcements/invitations on printed paper with the Arabic Yeh's I will create a beautiful photo gallery as a tribute to this historic phenomonon! I mean it--send them in. It'll be cool! Actuallyand I'm risking exposing more of my genius tendancies hereI wanted to ask what I misunderstood along the line because I was under the impression that search engines or any search tool had been instructed to consider Arabic and Persian Yeh's to be the same. Yet it is a sad fact that if you do a Google search for a Persian word with final yeh, you'd better use the Arabic yeh. -Connie ___ FarsiWeb mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/farsiweb

Hi, Was googling around, found the above site by chance. Connie should be most interested one in that. Connie: Do you go by convincing to correct their YEHs?
