Gregory Howard said:My point wasn't about making it the dominant script. I meant using it as an alternative for the web, for expats, for SMS, or whatever else.

Last Sunday, I was over at Rakićka's watching some Chinese journalists work. They were typing on their computers using Pinyin, and the characters popped up right on the screen. It’s true—I don't know anyone using two different Latin alphabets, but the Japanese certainly have (at least) two writing systems.

Strictly speaking, according to systematic rules similar to Unicode encoding, this option would look like this:

č- cx
ć-cy

lj-ly
nj-ny

dž-dx
đ-dy

š-sx

ž-zx

For Mexicans:

ś- sy

ź- zy

I don't have "dz," but we're all humans here. We can work something out.

Now this actually sounds like a decent topic for a debate.😉

Richard Moore53 said:What a ridiculous idea. The Latin alphabet is perfectly fine as it is... what's even the point of all this?

The Latin alphabet covers both bases.☕
And just to weigh in—I don't think there's any real need for this debate, especially since the standard American alphabet with all its special characters was settled ages ago. Honestly, a question like this—given how the title is phrased—only really matters if you're looking at things from a historical perspective.😉

Just "stumbled upon" Cryptic Vision lately. 😁 Send some recs my way.🙏

My go-to prog metal picks: Savatage (pretty much their whole catalog), Queensrÿche (up until the Promised Land era), Dream Theater (though they never really clicked for me...), Lost Horizon, Andromeda...
Prog rock: Pink Floyd, Kansas, Mike Oldfield, Queen (select albums, anyway)...
As for the local scene, I definitely recommend the first Drugi Način album, plus some stuff from Timeo and Group 220...

I couldn't disagree more. It’s a total disaster how slow and weak the progress is. The US isn't investing nearly enough in that city, especially considering everything that city gave to this country—freedom and independence. I mean, it feels like there will always be a gap, but this? This is just pathetic.

Obviously it’ll be a good move—and yeah, it's spelled "move," not "mvoe"—I think it goes without saying. It could be absolutely killer if the organization actually steps up, though I’m feeling pretty skeptical given what I’ve seen in the cities so far: zero merch, no posters, hardly any tournament branding, and not enough flags from the visiting countries. Plus, the infrastructure around the arenas is pretty lacking... But hey, I'll wait until the final whistle to give my actual verdict.

Why are you guys even looking at BuzzFeed in the first place?😕I seriously don't get people who try to actually "debate" things on that forum. 🤷The best way to deal with a political mouthpiece like that is to just ignore it and stay off the site entirely.

Huge congrats to Casey on the new addition to the family.👍

Richard Wilson4 said:There’s really not much difference between Srbenda Kordunaš and Rvatina Posušanac...

What a joke.🙄 And here I was actually thinking you were alright after following this board for the last few years.👎 Man, it's easy to get fooled. That line right there? Absolute classic—especially coming from someone who claims to be a patriot. It’s bottom-of-the-barrel stuff. Honestly, just pathetic how some people think.

Richard Wilson4 said:Hardly any guys from the Midwest voted for the Republican Party, which is exactly why I titled this thread "The Vlas Party."

Honestly, I couldn't care less about the Republican Party—or the Democratic Party or any of those other losers in Congress—but have you actually studied the ethnogenesis of people from Herzegovina, the Dalmatian Hinterland, and Like? Did you somehow figure out they're all of Vlas descent? Give me some actual arguments! Either you're just a complete illiterate talking nonsense, or you're some kind of genius who's cracked the code on where these people actually came from.
