   First off, Happy new year!   
      
   Second, and just something I noticed for the first time, but are these the   
   only two languages out of the entire list that are supposed to be read from   
   right to left?   
      
   For some reason out of nowhere.. I replied to it, and decided to hit and hold   
   right arrow (and never let off until it got to the end of the message) and let   
   the cursor go through the text. Sure enough, when it got to these it was going   
   left to right over "Arabic: " and "Hebrew: " and then jumped to the end of the   
   text and scrolled backwards to the beginning of it, then continued to the end   
   of the line first, then to the next line and was back to left to right.   
      
   I found it pretty amusing that the Linux console actually knew better and   
   followed the text correctly. ;)   
      
   Regards,   
   Nick
