As often happens, i find myself reading a recipe sent to the list in 
which, instead of fractions, i'm seeing odd characters, such as 
omegas, infinity signs, as in an omega cup of chopped parsley.

I realize that some people have character sets that include 
fractions. Heck, so do i. But if other folks are reading mail with a 
different character set they get to see things like omegas and 
infinity signs instead of fractions.

Folks, please use three key strokes instead of one and type fractions 
all the way out, such as 1/2 instead of a single key stroke that i'm 
seeing as an omega or an infinity sign or some other 
non-alpha-numeric character.

It's hard to tell from the odd characters whether a recipe calls for 
1/8 or 3/4 of a unit of some ingredient and that can sure make a big 
difference in a recipe.
