Linguistic Nerdiness
Oct. 22nd, 2005 05:49 pmI was thinking about letters. Because I'm a nerd. And because I've been taking Arabic, which has me thinking about sounds.
Is it just me, or is "c" obsolete? Kan't everything it does be done by K or S? And X is too, it's either Z or KS. So I guess we could keep X as the KS sound.
What other letters are obsolete? I know, I know, I kould go check (Ah! A use for C! The CH sound can't be done by K) wikipedia under "phonics' or something, but I'm lazy. And like to just ask rhetorical questions.
