Hey now---check out my username. I've had that in roman numerals for years--tis all mine! I feel an OPEN LETTER coming on.I am all for switching to an exclusively numerical forum. Dibs on '4'.
I beg to differ on the A and R. Those are semi-closed letters, which I guess means they are only for a select few.Open letters: A, C, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M , N, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y and Z.
Closed letters: B, D, O, P and Q.
Thank you very much.

That's what happens when you hang out with a 1st Class gang.I sent my letter 2nd class, so it will probably arrive totally out of context.

I agree with this!I beg to differ on the A and R. Those are semi-closed letters, which I guess means they are only for a select few.
I can appreciate E's duality. R & G's too... you left them out.Of course, E is only open at the start of either a sentence or a proper noun... unless you're shouting.
I can do that.I do not need less letters, i need more serious letters!!!
I can do that.
Have you ever noticed how we spell "naïve"? Do you see those two dots over the i? What's that about?
It's called a diaeresis, and it is an indication that, although there are two vowels next to each other, they should be pronounced separately.
Naïve is probably the only word that is routinely written with a diaeresis, but several other words also have two vowel sounds that are pronounced independently.
The word diaeresis is, itself, interesting. You see that "ae"? It used to be a single letter "æ" and is pronounced like a cross between E and Uh. That leads us to an interesting conclusion. "diæresis" has two vowels that are pronounced separately. Unfortunately, while Unicode has letter forms for diæresis i, it doesn't have one for diæresis æ.
It does, however have a free-standing diæ̈resis.
Serious enough for you?
Make it a Seal of Approval and I'm in!Nobody can post any more letters, open or otherwise, until they get a "Stamp of Approval" from Frontier.
