    @steverino The Greeks have been using two different forms of sigma for millenia, depending on where it is in a word. I only know this because I have a Classics degree. More information than you could ever need about the Greek alphabet here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_alphabet

    I heard another reason for the F/S substitution was printers would run short of S’s and substitute F’s, but I don’t remember where I read about it.
