      As an Estonian, I’d rather write C than Finnish too. Finnish just looks like you’re writing Estonian, but had a stroke.

        That probably works for any closely related language pairs. Finns thinking the same of Estonian, some English folks definitely formed that opinion of Scots the first time seeing it in print, Polish and Czech, etc. etc.

          Probably.

          Tbf with Estonian and Finnish, it’s like they took what was weird about our language and amplified it lol
