@grainloom Did an exam where I started using Cyrillic for notation out of sheer boredom. I don't think I was marked down but I didn't risk doing it twice.

@a_breakin_glass that sounds like a made up car part name someone would use to expose my lack of car knowledge

@grainloom Way back when in high school, I often used a snowman in my math exams. Teachers found it amusing.Later, I was told it was clear when the exam was too easy, because my drawings were much more detailed then :P

@grainloom I had this idea to maybe try to learn Phoenician at the time bit it turns out it's hard to causally find sources from which to learn a 2000 year dead language lol

@grainloom I'd be amazed if it weren't. The greeks had their crazy history of the written word and are much better known. The main issue with ancient greek as I understand it is that they were allergic to writing things literally. I think even if the Phoenicians/Carthaginians wrote straightforwardly the lack of sources and knowledge would still make them lose.

@ari Remember too that the former, like Latin, has never been a truly dead language afaik (someone feel free to correct me,) there have always been people who can read ancient greek since it's been written

@ari Yeah my sister had a teacher in high school who could read it because they had to learn it for like, theology or something.
