Everything's a non-starter.  Until it begins.

It's a non-starter because of the security-sensitive nature of @.


Is this a casing orthography?  (Please see attached image.)

We've seen where typewriter kludges enabled users to represent the glottal stop with a question mark (or a digit seven).  Unicode makes those kludges unnecessary.

But we're still using typewriter kludges to represent stress in Latin script because there is no Unicode plain text solution.
