I lament that the littlest goaties must suffer for the cheese, but damn it, I love the cheese too much.

I always thought that the current (Latin & Greek)alphabet comes traces back to the phoenician one antheir aleph, beth, etc. The aramaic was the language of the old testament with totally different alphabet. The level of culture at the Economist is falling badly. Is it a product of public schools?
