English! Name a language whose written form commonly alternates between left-to-right and right-to-left with every row (bonus points for giving me the correct technical term for it). Edited by Ari on 12 February 2012 at 3:20pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

Ancient Greek on stone and it would be called Boustrophedon text.
And since the previous answer was wrong, I'll re-ask: Name a non-tonal language that you would traditionally expect in a greeting during a Chadar trek (Hindu and Urdu would be wrong). 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

Good point. I was referring to the fact that, while most webpages are in good English, all too many people "rite lk this wn they tlk 2 each uthr" in chatrooms and whatnot.
