:::: For the record, “so we don't confuse” is not a sufficient reason for modifying a letter while creating neologisms. New words also tend to follow cultural tradition, not just convenience or something, so it's always better not to break this principle. — [[User:SAKryukov|SA]], ''Sunday 2021 February 14, 22:10 UTC''
