| Feb 7, 2021 at 20:09 | comment | added | Marblescraps | I must disagree with the argument you've provided, @CannedMan, as I feel that it is equally plausible to just type the wrong breathing mark by mistake, all the more so for a beginning learner, as it is to omit putting the rough one where it belongs, and so there's no advantage whatsoever in typing the smooth breathing mark considering all the other negative consequences I've listed. | |
| Feb 6, 2021 at 0:07 | comment | added | Canned Man | Thanks, @Marblescraps, for the update. I do, of course, see one good reason for including smooth breathing, which anyone with database experience would attest to: It’s a fail safe. If an indication of spiritus is missing, how do you know for sure it is supposed to be smooth breathing or that the rough breathing went missing? It is indeed good practice to include it. However (!), I completely agree with you from a pedagogical perspective. There really is more than enough to try to understand when learning Greek (I’m a beginner learner now myself), so it clearly is didactically sound. | |

| Feb 3, 2021 at 8:56 | comment | added | Canned Man | As with @JoonasIlmavirta, I am interested in hearing more on this. Your answer could prove to be useful – and I would then happily upvote it – if you would provide us with some references to your method, or be that you have none, a more thorough explanation of how and why you choose to do this. (Now, why on earth is there one O in prove and two in choose? English spelling rules …‽) | |

| Feb 2, 2021 at 21:44 | comment | added | Joonas Ilmavirta♦ | Welcome to the site! Do you mean that you only mark rough breathing and recognize smoothness by absence of a breathing mark? This sounds like a non-standard approach. Is this method followed by any textbooks or other material? You can edit your answer to add details. | |
