Abstract/Summary

Frustration, compromise, annoyance, and anger characterise our encounter with the current implementation of Greek on the platforms and devices we use most. We are fed up with unnecessary hacking, solutions that are bound to go out of date, and the snail pace of addressing issues despite our visible presence and advocacy over many years. This presentation summarises research into the the problematic implementation of our script, and calls for action to respect our script and language. Other scripts suffer similarly.
