There is no straighforward way to get Greek characters in HTML. The Perseus Project uses the Beta codes ASCII transcription scheme and converts on the fly between that and Unicode / polytonal glyphs. It's old and ugly but it's probly the safest way to represent Greek in a 7-bit safe way optimally. http://www.cs.utk.edu/~mclennan/BA/OM/Beta-codes.htmlThe cut/copy and paste problem might have to do with what encoding your browser is set up with. (Just a guess.)

>It was a joke, I say, it was a joke, son. Yiddish uses, for the most part, letters from the Hebrew alphabet, though it has modified some of them and added some ligatures.
So it was really a choke?

'Twas a Jerusalem artichoke methinks.

"son"?
Sorry, if I got your gender incorrect, but yours seems a masculine name. The allusion doesn't work as well with daughter. Either way, we aren't related as far as i know. Please accept my appy poly loggies.

No, though I gather it was once the subject of some speculation aboard -- rather, I was questioning the possible implications of a relative diminutive; although it seems from your answer, there were none.

Oh my gosh, did Foghorn Leghorn really say these?
No what, I say what's the big idea of bashin' me on the noggin with a rollin' pin. Clunk enough people and we'll have a nation of lumpheads.

These are hilarious! No wonder my husband has always liked him. Thanks for po, I say thanks for posting that, tsuwm; I've bookmarked it for when he gets back into town.

"Bub" ?
Sanctimonious, a little. Condescending, very. But admonishing?

I've never used Bub in an admonishing manner. I always thought it was a little bit jokey for that. For example, say Hubby is twiddling on the computer and we're supposed to be going to a movie then I'd could conceivably say, "all right Bub, are you coming or am I going without you."
I find Buster to be admonishing.
