ill never be able to read a/b/o as alpha beta omega because I always think of blood types instead
Exactly. Write "α/β/ω" if you want it to be read correctly, or at least "A/B/Ω" (the A and B are Latin homoglyphs and everyone should know how to read/write/type the capital omega because of electrical resistance). Similarly, zero-crossing detection, three-letter acronyms etc. should be abbreviated with digits.
Same with MTG hahaha
