I dislike using the Somali Latin script :down:

''As a Student in America, where he recieved a bachelor's degree in linguistics at Columbia University, he visited a secondary school accompanied by other foreign students. The teacher asked them all to write ''good morning'' in their native tongue on the board. The Arab, Indian, Japanese and Somali visitors all used their ''national scripts''. The Ugandan student, who had to use Latin script, ''was so humiliated and felt inferior to the rest of us"

We should have either adopted this or the Kaddare script. :)
