... But Peter, honsetly, if you can't see the value of hebrew characters (in whatever order they are typed) over sometimes confusing transliteration I am at a loss as to how you have arrived at such a viewpoint.
They have. It is built into my computer. It has been built into Windows for at least seven years. I have suggested using it several times on this list. But a few people have objected because they insist on using obsolete mail clients which don't support either your solution or mine, in fact they refuse to upgrade to any way of displaying Hebrew characters on their computers.
Then why have the computer geeks not gotten together and formulated a solution to the ever present foreign font dilemma?
You wrote "Technology has advanced to the point that..." Well, technology advanced that far about ten years ago, and has advanced a long way beyond that now.
It isn't. It hasn't been needed for 7 years. It is not used on this list only because a few people object to making any technological progress.
While I do not support going back to the inarticulate transcription, that is better than making a rash change to an obsolete technology on the advice of someone who admits to knowing almost nothing about the issue.
A rash change? If technology has advanced so far in 10 years, as you suggest, then why is transcription still necessary? ...
