What is worse, in Yiddish (which uses the Hebrew script), you write
a non-final peh in a final position in ordinary words when you mean
/p/ rather than /f/, as in the word for "cape" (geographical), which
is written kuf yod-yod peh.

It's the old, old story.  Droid meets droid.  Droid becomes chameleon.
Droid loses chameleon, chameleon becomes blob, droid gets blob back
again.  It's a classic tale.  --Kryten, Red Dwarf
