It just ruins the whole thing for me. |

That and the "English" spelling of Greek letters. I can almost understand the "mew" I saw the other day since mu is not a standard Greek letter for many. But someone that uses "pie" just ought to be hung barefoot from the ceiling and have their feet licked remorselessly by a rabid pack of puppies.

I ignore this, they just don't know the conventional spelling for Greek
letters. I just use the correct spelling in any reply and assume they will
learn once they see what others use.
