I found out that Dan's avatar uses this font or something like it. Click on it to learn the font name.

It's because the line makes it an A, not an upside down V.

Why sigh? I thought we were talking about the Latin Alphabet, but then I read again, and you said "to keep the GREEKS", and that's what made me remember.

True, but I guess we just can't яэspзст everyone. :P
Half of the Cyrillic letters look the same or nearly the same way as Latin letters, but have different meanings. And the greek beta [β] is used as a double-s in German. :P
