Where the heck did he get the T from? Gathafi?

Oh, and check out the snark at the end:

I don’t think they’ll be getting a postcard anytime soon, seeing as they’re well behind the World Chess Federation on Khadafi’s mailing list.

/and yes, I’ve got 3 different spellings in there (mine, the Atlantic’s and his).

The ‘d’ isn’t actually a d-sound, it’s softer that than. So you can hear it either as a d or as th-as-in-leather.

And the opening sound isn’t exactly a K, or a G. The problem is that Arabic has several sounds that are just hard to represent in the Latin alphabet.
