And You Thought Texting Was A Problem Here?
April 21st, 2008 | by Cranky Liberal |I read this on Gizmodo today. You HAVE To read the whole article. It’s disturbing and priceless at the same time.
The life of 20-year-old Emine, and her 24-year-old husband Ramazan Çalçoban was pretty much the normal life of any couple in a separation process. After deciding to split up, the two kept having bitter arguments over the cellphone, sending text messages to each other until one day Ramazan wrote “you change the topic every time you run out of arguments.” That day, the lack of a single dot over a letter—product of a faulty localization of the cellphone’s typing system—caused a chain of events that ended in a violent blood bath (Warning: offensive language ahead.)
Really go read the rest!

And listen folks I’m not making fun of the tragedy, but isn’t is fascinating that the difference in whether the “i” has a dot or not can be that dramatic?
