I think Hebrew was made to go RTL just to give programmers headaches.
Actually, I'm trying to learn Hebrew, and I keep catching myself
trying to write it LTR.  Now if Dimi went to the Hebrew alephbet,
would he have to change from Z1, Z2,... to 1{aleph}, 2{aleph},...

Listview Z8

[Shachar Shemesh]

Now you are touching on subjects tender to my purpose on this list :-)

Dimi wouldn't have to change anything. A BiDi aware engine which is 
complient enough (i.e. - not what we currently have in Wine)-: will 
display a logical aleph followed by a "1" as an aleph followed by a 1 
RTL (i.e. - the 1 will be on the aleph's left). There is a whole 
discussion here, but I'm afraid it is somewhat off topic for this 
presumably amusing thread. Contact me off list if you want to hear more.

As for studying Hebrew - בהצלחה. They say it's a difficult language to 
learn (I wouldn't really know, of course).
