That's cool JBuck, I cannot see what you did--are you accessing a scientific symbol alphabet?

"View Page Source" and search!

If you view the page in IE, you will see that I typed:

&gamma for &gamma and &Gamma for &Gamma

(yes, I used the embedded code trick to prevent the tags from working!)


I would like to reply to GO's comment, but I cannot quote him!

I saw the source--cool trick! That's nice to know! I'm guessing this works because the Greek alphabet has some symbolic uses in English, but what about other alphabets?

Lebreeze, lol...I name JBuck the nominee for figuring this out.
