It's cool you can see the Greek roots in words like psychology from this word "psychḗ"
My brain keeps reading and spelling ψυχή as "psuchi" (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ Rewiring it slowly from Spanish to Greek is hard. Sad only Υ is used for capital letters, and even γ trolls my brain to think it's a "y".

Just keep re-wiring! It will work eventually. You could add Russian, where "y" is an "u" to make things funnier. Or Japanese, and suddenly the Greek letters will seem like a piece of cake. ;o) Nah, just kidding. If you concentrate on Greek, your brain's abilities will surprise you after a while!
On my phone (Galaxy s10) when I am typing there is an options button directly to the left of my spacebar, from there I am taken to a menu, theres a "languages and types" option that allows me to enable any language keyboard that I want.
After I do that I just swipe my keyboard and it changes to whatever language I have enabled.
What is the difference between ψ and ψι? both are the psee but I don't understand the difference.
