I’ve visited the new Arabic section, and it felt very odd reading the post in Arabic, especially that the Arabic alphabet does not fit with the Lebanese words we usually use, (like teta…); so I have a suggestion for you Rocky (and Maya), why not use the latin alphabet, wich represents far better our spoken Lebanese dialect ?
p.s. sorry for commenting here, but couldn’t find a form there

No, I’m totally against writing Arabic in latin alphabet. It’s either English or REAL Arabic. I guess you felt odd because you are not used to read such things in Arabic.. it has to be only some formal paper for us not to feel odd when reading it. If it is a fun thing on the Internet in Arabic, it makes us feel weird. I dont see why teta would be more acceptable than تيتا guys.

haha, well it’s not very complicated to understand… our dialect (LEBANESE) and our writing language (ARABIC) do not sync, they are different, that’s all.

I totally agree with you Charbel ( better in English but if Maya feels like doing some in arabic, i prefere lebanese in latin alphabet)
