What do you think about using the correct characters ș and ț rather than the wrong (but widespread) ones, ş and ţ? See Romanian alphabet. Note that even the article name has one such character. Aditsu 18:36, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
- Because most computers can't display them correctly, thanks to the guys at ISO and later to the guys at Microsoft... (default pre-Windows XP installations can't display them) I tried a recent Knoppix distribution and they also didn't work...
- And by default, the Windows Romanian keyboard settings still make you write ş and ţ, and as such 99% of the sites use the wrong ones.
- This problem is not recent. See: Image:Scînteia 21 decembrie 1989.jpg and this was before computers. bogdan 19:15, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
