Reaction #1 (too-cool-for-this neo-geek-hipster wanna-be snark): O RLY?
Reaction #2 (cripplingly self-conscious): is my greek so bad that flickr assumes i don’t even know how to say hello?
Reaction I should have had: How many Greeks wrote emails to flickr to get “yasou” on the international greetings banner? And how long will it take for a counter-reaction of Turks to mobilize and demand “merhaba”? ;)
