i personally like having thorn and eth both. a way to distinguish between voiced and unvoiced dental fricatives would be cool, in my opinion. a lot of people talk about english spelling reforms but they're always too large of a difference. a spelling reform would have to be minor enough that those who spell things using the spelling reform to understand pre spelling reform writing. i think that a small spelling reform we could do could be using the same principles as thorn and eth, but not actually bringing the letters back. the voiceless dental fricative should still stay TH, but the voiced could become DH. dhat doesn't change things too much, right?

"&" was probably dropped from the alphabet because unlike most other letters on this list, you can't use it in words. You can use it to _represent_ one specific word, but you can't actually use it _in_ words. Fun fact: the ampersand is a corruption of "et", the Latin word for "and", and in some fonts, it does kind of look like a capital E and lowercase t smushed together.

One lil’ extra about ampersand. I’ve made up a tiny lil’ rule when it comes to the full-word wannabe. Basically, you’d use ampersnad whenever you use more than one “and” in a sentence with ampersand being used for every “and after the first one, or if an “and” is used in the name of a tv show or a business or something like that. An example would be Tom *&* Jerry.

Did you know: ß (German "eszett" or sharp S) is the combination of long "s" and normal "s" into one letter. & (ampersand) was originally a combination of the letters "et", spelling out the Latin word for "and". In the past, "&c" was a common spelling of "etc".

I like the eszett. i believe its name is a combination of "ess" and "zett." Duh. "Ess" for "S," and "zett" (or really tsett) being the German pronunciation of "zed," which is "Z." Since those are the sounds represented by "S," logically if you make a symbol for the combination of the two, you would combine the names.

I went searching for a video like this because I wanted to know where Xi went lol, got no answer but still worth it is the long s related to the eszett? They seem similar in usage what exactly does "and per se and" mean. Like are they saying something like "x, y, z, and, like the letter and" as in to clarify that they mean to end the sentence with "and" by saying referring to and "itself"? Thats really interesting that it was considered a letter. Did they have the other common language symbols back then like pound and at? Math and money symbols notwithstanding Lol I love that the spoken "ye old" is just a misinterpretation. Why did they choose "ye" to replace "þ"? Why not like "lp" or something thats more reminiscent of the thing theyre replacing? Wynn looks too much like something between D and P it's really not a clear symbol to jam into the language. I'm all for adopting stupid anachronistic charactersets just because I can, but that is one I will sadly be leaving out lol lol if you try to pronounce the "gh" in daughter it basically just turns into the german "Tochter". I would like to see that weird 3 come back too, but it needs a new symbol and name. I think that sound is still alive in Bach, because its a name
@javierlatorre480 Жыл бұрын
Long s is indeed related to the eszett; in fact eszett was created from a ligature of long s with short s (or z in some cases) Pretty much, yes, along the lines of "x, y, z, and "and" itself" They chose y to replace þ because by that point þ had changed its shape somewhat and lost its ascender, so it legitimately looked a lot like the y. The modern þ is based on the Icelandic iteration of the letter Wynn was ripped from the old Runic alphabet much like þ was, but it clearly hadn't lasted as long as the letter combo that would ultimately become W. And as cool as wynn looks, it's harder to parse, harder to type, and incredibly redundant Yogh stood for a significantly bigger number of sounds than just the gh, often used instead of y at the beginning of syllables and even occasionally for w within a word. And no, the sound is pretty much dead in standard English; note that Austin simply could not pronounce it, instead pronouncing it as a hard k.

@stephenfennell7 ай бұрын
Actually it is not completely random. The order of the Roman alphabet is very similar to that of the Greek alphabet, and not dissimilar to that of Hebrew. The vowels are placed approximately every four letters. Remove letters added after the Romans and you have: Abcd Efgh I(jk)lmn Opqrst (u)V(wxyz) The Roman V was not the consonant we use it as today but the vowel sound "oo", so Roman V was a vowel. During the Dark Ages or Middle Ages people began to round the shape of the V when writing quickly, and eventually decided to treat rounded U and angular V as two different letters with two different sounds. They gave the vowel sound "oo" to U and made the angular V a consonant. Possibly the reason why the last vowel, V, was placed at the end of the alphabet instead of 4 letters after O is that people felt it was satisfying to have one vowel at the beginning (A) and one at the end (V); but I'm only speculating there. And as to who decided to arrange the vowels like that, and where to put the other letters, and how this very brainy person managed to get other people to agree with this order, I'm at a loss to know. Hebrew already had an alphabetical order in about 1000 BC when someone wrote Psalm 119, which works through the Hebrew alphabet letter by letter (you will see what I mean if you look it up - it's easier to see than to describe it here). The Greeks also had the concept that alpha was their first letter and omega the last (both of them vowels, interestingly), as we know from the fact that Jesus called himself "the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the ending" in Revelation 1:8.

As a teacher of grades one and two, trying to teach kids to read, having a single letter for a sound rather than various combinations would be MUCH easier! I think English has terrible spelling. I would love to revamp it and make it totally simple like Spanish. It wouldn't be very practical now though as if it were like that then people with different accents would spell words entirely differently. Ah well.... If it had been done in the first place we probably wouldn't have all these different accents because the way things are written would tell us how to say them.
@stephenfennell7 ай бұрын
I agree. A more phonetic spelling system would make it so much easier for English-speaking children to learn to read and write. Italian children learn to read and write in much less time - less than a year, I think I've heard - compared to English-speaking children because Italian is pronounced almost exactly as it is written, and written almost exactly as it is pronounced. Likewise with other phonetically-written languages including Finnish, and probably even languages that are semi-phonetically written like French. But as you also say, it is probably now far too late to reform our spelling, and the vast geographical spread of its speakers around the world has introduced so many different accents that it would be a fool's game to try to decide which accent to represent phonetically in which word.
