A participant of the Diaspora conference held on April 27 at the University of Southern California shared a savory yet bitter bite with us:
"The 'best' suggestion from the diaspora conference in LA, from an audience member: since western Armenian spelling is difficult, and the Armenian alphabet is not being used on line, why don't we abolish the Armenian alphabet and start using the Latin script, as our neighbor has done... And he was serious....."
We had read a "serious" suggestion along these lines some twenty years ago. To put it mildly, the "suggestion" reeks of lack of seriousness.
