I'm not Avraham, nor do I play him on TV, but what he
said was that English, unlike other languages,
including Greek, has a lot of words with different
meanings and spellings that sound alike- night and
knight, for example. When he writes down what Christos
says, he does it by what the word sounds are, and it's
usually fairly accurate.
