"The authoritarian leader’s talent for balancing divergent interests,
however, suddenly seems to have deserted him over an issue that, at
first glance, involves neither great power rivalry nor weighty matters
of state: the role of the humble apostrophe in writing down Kazakh words."

Interesting!  Via Dave Farber.
