It's even worse in Greece, it can't pronounce the alphabet so spells each letter individually. Turn left at "epsilon alpha delta kappa kappa epsilon x 5"

[PopePompus]

Yes, and whenever I see Greek street signs, I feel helplessly compelled to group like terms and simplify.

[StavrosK]

Oh God, and that takes for ever as well, since it spells out twenty letters. It's extremely annoying.

[thaumasiotes]

eaðkke? Is that a possible Greek word?

[scrollaway]

It wouldn't be, because ð is an eth, not a delta (δ). Eth is an old english letter.

[atoav]

Or a current icelandic letter.

[thaumasiotes]

What are you going for here? e, a, and k are all English rather than Greek letters. It's just a transcription for the benefit of people who aren't comfortable with Greek letter names.

[devnulloverflow]

Even then, wouldn't a delta just be a "d"? Or do Greeks pronounce the "th" in "the"?
