Which two consonants can be spelled without using themselves?
jongales : Consonant letters can be spelled out. These are valid words according to the dictionary. Vowels don’t have spellings that I can find. I think it’s a little bogus that these spellings include the letter they are spelling, but I didn’t create the rules. bee, cee, dee, ef, gee, aitch, jay, kay, el, em, en, pee, cue, ar, ess, tee, vee, double-u, ex, wye, zee. I first learned of this several years back after seeing a kid in the National Spelling Bee go home after getting confronted with spelling the letter H. comments are funny
and GoogleRumors and do you place email replies before or after the text you are replying to? 1 comment from dowingba : Top. Always. If I’m responding to several questions, doesn’t matter. If they don’t remember what they asked, they can scroll down. I’m not gonna waste my time threading everything manually. okhz.

btw (my before): remember the dialect survey. (look at maps & results. such cool display of information. and it is my kind of information: what people say = phenomena. Aristl.)
