I came across this post in a Yahoo site just now.  It made me gasp aloud.  <br><br>Jennifer asks,<br><br><blockquote style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote">

<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">What is the difference between sanskrit and Arabic?</span><br style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">I wanted to get a tattoo in Arabic because I have an egyptian fascination and want a consistent flow of relativity on my body seeing as how I already have an ankh. A friend of mine told me I should get sanskrit because it is more closely related to egypt. And I think Arabic is prettier.</span><br>

</blockquote><div><br>In fact, Jennifer has received five informative answers, setting her straight, one even explaining Panini and the Astadhyayi.  The correspondent &quot;Z&quot; makes an unassailable truth claim  by asserting &quot;<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">I am arabic</span>.&quot;<br>

<br>The conclusion we must draw is that  tatoo parlours badly need more Indologists.  And Arabists, and Egyptologists.<br>
