What's your favourite letter of the alphabet and how would you feel...

[Mark Latimour]

...if it was taken out of the alphabet?

Mine is "a" because it sits under my little finger and strengths / makes the finger useful when I type. If it was taken out of the alphabet, i'd feel sd.

[dlloyd]

I'd like them to bring back the 'eth': ð

[Phalex]

Mines M. It's the 13th letter of the alphabet, and without it your Mother would just be some Other.

[The Crusader]

My fave is B. Beer starts with B. Beer is good.

[MakiSupaStar]

I like tsu.

[vinny]

Z nothing more final than Z

[FL Knifemaker]

If there was no F, I could never drop the F Bomb and that's a critical part of being a knifemaker

[john turner]

you know, when kids do things that are perfectly ok, but that their little buddies don't like, many of these little buddies attempt to make their displeasure known by doing the same thing, only even more obnoxiously.

this usually doesn't work, and just tends to aggravate the adults in the room.

But then you'd be L Knifemaker- like[Ricardo Montalban voice on]'EL KNIFEMAKER'.
But I'd have a Warwick NA.
OK, I vote F.

[Asa Samuel]

P, imagine if it got taken out, you wouldn't be able to.... and your bladder would explode!!

What's obnoxious or unaccpetable about finding amusing puns by ommitting letters from the alaphabet?

[Mark Latimour]

I suppose the letter "S" is probably up there, without it Mike Money would simply be "a clown" and his tattoo would simply be "a hat".

[mike_v_s]

I've never liked the letter "K". Especially when people are using it as short for "Okie Dokie". But this puts me in a terrible conundrum. If I eliminate "k" from the alphabet in an effort to quash the liberal use of the "K".....I end up with "Oie Doie".

I suppose it would be "X", merely because it is probably one of the least used letters, and more oft than not phoenetically replaceable with other combinations of letters, and that makes it kinda special, I guess.

[Mark Latimour]

I suppose if you are a SMS fan, the letter "u" is pretty important. I mean, there's a big difference between "I love u guys" and "I love gys"

Can you give me an example of this? I'm interested as a friend used to often say that Abraham Lincoln coined the term OK(sorry if that's what you're talking about, BTW )to save time; it allegedly means(or did originally)'I hear you, understand you, now leave me alone'. Then he(friend, not neccesarily Lincoln )would say, 'OK?'

It wasn't Lincoln, It was Andrew Jackson. The earliest claimed usage of okay is a 1790 court record from Sumner County, Tennessee, discovered in 1859 by a Tennessee historian named Albigence Waldo Putnam.

Martin Van Buren claimed it later as his nick name was "ol' Kinderhook" since he was born in Kinderhook, NY...

[bassteban]

I have now learned something.

Edit: Still wondering about that 'Okie-Dokie' thing, though...

[MatticusMania]

I think my favorite letter is W, I'd find a way around it, like using an upside down M, or these guys \/\/
