Think up a letter to add to the English alphabet connected to the phonics it makes, also the graphic, what it would look like. One extra letter could change the English language. It could change the world a little, change interpretation, it could change the world biggly... (Trumpy word there)...bwahahahahaha :)

You realize just how trained your brain is when it has to explore something a little out of the norm.

It gets along the lines of how the first grain of sand came into existence........Quantum brain entanglement :) Don't let it do your head in.

So, any letters, phonics, graphics of the new and improved? I suppose the same could be said for all languages we have evolved with. Perhaps that what evolving is, adding new instead of constant and repetitive, repetitive restoration.

This could be one for the grammar queens or kings out there. Some may say why? Others may say, why not?

Our brain has it's own "Autofill" it's said. What would happen if we were to short circuit that "Autofill"

Da Da daaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :)

ABCDEFGHIJKLOMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ..and....

No cheating, it has to stand as a separate letter. No combination of letters, phonics permitted. It needs to stand alone as the beginning, middle or end of a word. Bugger it, just have a go.

Well, first off we need to get rid of some letters. Too much redundancy in the alphabet as it is.

The letter C is just stupid. It's either a K or an S. It just a mimic.

But you'd have to add a new letter that makes the CH sound e.g., change, channel. What to call it I have no idea.

But while you're getting rid of C let's do X too. Again, K and S do a good job.

I'm all about efficiency.

OK, I'm probably stepping on toes, but Q is just silly. I'm sure it was best friends with U and when they let U in he said he wasn't coming without Q. So they said why not. And Q is so shy he hates to work without his buddy.

Seriously, this is a job for KW. Oh, and W? Double-U really? Call is what is is: Double-V. Yeah, nobody writes it as two U's.

Enough tequila for this evening. Thank you for your time.

The Great Letter Massakre.

We are in mourning today members. Last night there was a savage attak on the English alphabet. The suspekt was last seen dansing merrily v v hile sv v inging a bottle of Tekila.

The Kween, my apologies, King has been advised of this disaster, Prinse Harry has had ekstra sekurity ordered for him as the suspekt may be an Amerikan sitizen.

It's not sure at this time v vhether all kasualties have been akkounted for. Polise are still investigating and are making further inkwiries.
