transliteration Virtually all my emails from relatives in Tehran are filled with transliterations of computerese...this is very common...technology usually carries its vocabulary with it...it is a lot easier than inventing new words in the second language.

Agree Sure, I do agree with Farzad as well, since translaiteration is commonly used too.

Farzad Akmali Feb 5, 2010:

Dear Simon, I do agree with my friend's suggestion, however generally their transliterations (کات and پیست) are used more than their Persian equivalents.
