ME's remarks in _The Alphabets of Europe_ seem downright bizarre to me: # Note that in # Romania, Gagauz uses the characters S WITH COMMA BELOW and T WITH COMMA BELOW. # In inferior Gagauz typography, the glyphs for these characters are sometimes # drawn with CEDILLAs, but it is strongly recommended to avoid this practice. # However, because Gagauz is a Turkic language, it may be left to the user to # decide whether S WITH COMMA BELOW (as in Romanian) or S WITH CEDILLA (as in # Turkish) is preferred. It seems that the last two sentences say that it may be left to the user to decide whether inferior or superior typography is preferred. -- De plichten van een docent zijn divers, John Cowan die van het gehoor ook.
