Theta, you dumbass.
Didn't they teach Greek alphabet in your high school?

Of course not. I know the whole thing anyway, but that looks like no gamma I've ever seen. Much too tall for one. Is that really what it's supposed to be?

It most resembles the Greek small Gamma character.

Check it out in your Windows Unicode character set Times New Roman, character 03B3.

I don't have a Windows Unicode character set, but that's okay because I know what gamma is supposed to look like: not that.

That's what the lowercase Gamma is supposed to look like, to the first approximation. To a similar approximation, you FAIL, you wretched cur.

That shit looks like a lowercase "y" to me.
