Hi All A Real Poser??

[johnny.5]

now here it is .

If you had to add another letter to the alphabet .
what would it be ?
and where would it fit ?
and how does it sound phonetically ?

[spathiphyllum]

It's hard to inform you because it's not on my keyboard :(

I don't think there is any need for another letter, and i think it's next to impossible to make one up.

I mean, a cross between an I and an E would be my letter, but its hard to imagine how it'd sound.

[AuntPollyGrey]

A wiggly 'h' like a mix of an s and a h, coming after the s and obviously pronounced 'sh'

[Mozz71]

I don't know how it would look, but it would be pronounced "meh".

I think after O in the current alphabet.

[Jackdaw33]

& used to be the 27th letter, coming after Z

[Gromit]

One character to represent the double oo similar. To ∞

Zoo becomes Z∞
Moon becomes M∞n
Loon becomes L∞n

It would be after the single O in the alphabet.

It would reduce the number of characters in a text, and I am sure it would s∞n catch on.

[AuntPollyGrey]

good one gromit -can you invent a symbol for 'ght' ?

[pixie374]

Iceland has a curved d with a line through for 'th'.

[Gromit]

In text speak they use 8 to represent ght (& ate) as in R8 and M8.

A symbol similar to an 8 but at an angle mi☍ work :-)

Would "ri8" for "right" not be pronounced as "riate"?

[Gromit]

Hi THECORBYL∞N,

Possibly.

[THECORBYLOON]

The "th" could be represented by "ħ"
