what is the difference between omega and the o, written in the same as the english one?

PS is it possible to paste greek letters into this forum?

Do you mean the difference between, 'omega' and 'omikron'?

Well, to my knowledge, omega (ω) is used almost exclusively at the end of verbs (in the infinitive or first person singular - 'I') eg.... I do/to do - κανω.

NOTE - Only a few words (about 10/15) begin with omega - the most used is probably 'time/clock' - 'ωρα'

Omikron (o) is probably used everywhere else!

they both have the same sound, so dont worry about that!

How to get the language settings to put in greek letters is not to hard...

I go to Control Panel(in 'classic view'), then go to regional and language options,then the languages tab, then go to 'details'...there you can put any language you want!

Click on 'Add'then add the language...it maybe easier to use the keyboard settings you use already, but it is a matter of choice.

Hope that helps
