The "Z" and "M" thing completely bothers me as a (learned) Arabic Speaker just as the fact that ص (a sound most European languages don't know) is X. (even though I can kinda get behind that). The G/Q thing makes sense from a dialectal point of view, as ق can often be pronounced G, but Q would be more correct. So probs to the Lexus owner for getting it right

It still bothers me to this day. I guess they were trying to avoid confusion when they revised the format in 2007 but then again, they use two different "Alif" in Arabic so
