Step one pace to the side and consider again If I read in Cyrillic script normally I will have been taught some Roman script at school. If I leave my home where I use Cyrillic script and go to "Egypt " to see the "Pyramids" how will I manage when my only scripts are Cyrillic and Roman with a bit of effort? _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
