My new favorite hebrew word
In Hebrew, the word for to disappear is נעלם (neEhlam), and the word for to ignore is להיתעלם (leHitAhlem) which is the reflexive form of to disappear. All of that means that if I am ignoring someone in Hebrew, I am disappearing myself. It's little things like this that make Hebrew a fun language.

How the heck did you get hebrew letters to show?
It was really easy. On the mac, in system preferences/international, you enable Hebrew (in two places), and it puts a button in the menu bar for switching languages. I'm learning to Touch type in Hebrew and I just switched languages mid-sentence.
