gollark: Don't those mostly depreciate *faster*?
gollark: … what? Lots of the letters don't look identical to the regular English/Latin ones.
gollark: Probably neither. I don't know why they have amazon.com and amazon.co.uk instead of redirecting one to the other (per-country branding with slightly less effort?) but due to web things™ they cannot share cookies.
gollark: Excellent. I know someone going on some sort of ant crusade and I have forwarded this to them.
gollark: National security reasons.
