message: Is it really appropriate to use a Cyrillic letter to try to imitate a backwards 'R'? - furrykef (Talk at me) 00:58, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: No, because it's supposed to be a Latin 'R', not a Cyrillic 'Ya'. With the Cyrillic leter, the title would be pronunced "Homya". --Arteitle 16:58, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, it would be pronounced "Namya". TLC-Kopf 20:30, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The Cyrillic letter En looks like Latin H, but it's a different character with a different Unicode symbol. Georgia guy 18:01, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

text: I just wanted to add that the official Fox web site for The Simpsons gives the title as "HOMR" . The Cyrillic 'Ya' may look like a backwards Latin 'R', but it's a completely different letter in a different alphabet with a different pronunciation. --Arteitle 04:19, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

text: So? They look similar, and only fruitcake alphabet freaks would care.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.133.69.125 (talk) 17:25, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Cyrillic?

message: The title uses a backwards "R", but there is no way to do this with text on a computer without a specialized font. A possible way to simulate a backwards R could be to use an image instead of a character like is done at I Hate U, and put  up. -- kenb215 02:36, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, the question is, is HOMR right or HOMЯ? 'Cause in the norwegian Wikipedia, we have the title "HOMЯ". NorwegianMarcus 07:35, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: While Homer's stupid because of a crayon lodged near his brain, it's HOMЯ. Then when he gets it removed, it's HOMER. When he has it put back, it becomes HOMЯ again. The R is inverted and the E is omitted only to show his lack of inteliigence in signing his own name. --Rahul 09:04, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

text: The correct answer is that it is HOMR, but with the R backwards. HOMЯ, despite appearance, does not use a backwards R. As the move debate (above) says, this is the Cyrillic Ya. There is no way to display the title with text, thus the idea of using the no character template. -- kenb215 21:34, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Possible fix for the R / Я. 

message: Frankly, I'm utterly mystified by the backwards-R debate I'm seeing here. Cyrillic Ya (Я) is a reversed Latin letter R. Wait a minute...oh my God! H, O, and M are also Cyrillic letters! Come to think of it, so are A, B, C, E, H, I, J, K, P, S, T, X and y. So now what do we do? Change all occurences of those letters in the English Wiki to images?
** I like your sarcastic and extreme humour. It's just like mine.- Rex Imperator 8:04, March 15, 2007
As it has been noted, the resulting appearance is completely identical. So why not just redirect HOMR to HOMЯ and be done with it?
On a less-ranting note, the current Special Character disclaimer seems to imply that Cyrillic is not supported in Unicode. For someone who stumbled on this article with no knowledge of this debate, it was quite a shockər. -Wikilackey 05:45, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It is the Unicode for the Cyrillic letter Ya. The Cyrillic letter Ya looks like a backwards R, but it did not originally imitate the R in shape in any way; just look at the Ya (Cyrillic) article and you will see. Nobody ever calls this "Home-yah", which the spelling you're suggesting reads with a mixture of Latin and Cyrillic characters. Georgia guy 23:57, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Over-Complicating the Matter 

message: I noticed that in the quotes section of this article, it was stated that Gazoo says "He's right you know." This can't be, since the name of the Gazoo-like character in The Simpsons is Ozmodiar, which is also stated in the article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.251.54.194 (talk) 14:21, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Gazoo vs. Ozmodiar 

message: Yes I know this subject has been debated to the pit but I'm actually quite suprised why nobody did this before. I went to thesimpsons.com and found the episode http://thesimpsons.com/episode_guide/1209.htm. The title is "HOMR". NOT HOMЯ and not with the "R" typeset backwards so I suggest we remove the notice about the unicode and quit bickering. 71.109.187.202 22:32, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Indesputeable proof of the article's title 

message: Until recently, the article used Image:HOMR.PNG (an image with a backwards R.) Someone changed it to saying not to use this image in an HTML comment, which makes this image orphaned. Any discussion on what to do with it?? Georgia guy 16:03, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: (I created the image.) This edit was when the comment was added (by User:AEMoreira042281). It says to see the talk page, despite the fact that the page doesn't particularly support either side. I would just leave the image alone for the time being, as there is no consensus, and probably won't be for a while, if ever. -- kenb215 talk 17:15, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  The Episode Guide Book, The Simpsons Beyond Forever!: A Complete Guide to Our Favorite Family ...Still Continued spells it, "HOMЯ".--Steven X 07:58, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Would it be helpful to incorprate this story into the article? It is about a medical case that actually resembles to some degree what happens in the episode. Balcer 23:36, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  BBC story 

message: I always thought the name of this episode was a play on the name of the super-smart government computer in War Games, "WOPR."
Yes? No? It would make sense, since Homer becomes super-smart himself. I really have my doubts about it having any relation to CHAЯLY as it mentions in the article.  Can anyone back this up with a reference? Taborgate 14:45, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

message: This episode resembles Daniel Keyes novel, Flowers for Algernon, as both feature a mentally retarded protagonist undergoing an intelligence-improving procedure. After the operation, both protagonists begin to form new connections as a result of their heightened intelligence, but also lose other relationships as others begin to resent their newfound knowledge. Finally, in the conclusion of both, the protagonist returns to their initial mental state (albeit through different ways).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ambstudent721 (talk • contribs) 23:17, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
