I can't see the info on Gauntlet's site but does the lettered edition contain anything special such as a page of manuscript (like some of the other RJ books have had)
cheers

24 letters?

The English alphabet has 26 letters . . . the French alphabet has 25. (They don't have a "W.")

???

It's pronounced "do-bleh vay." (As in double V). Or were all my teachers lying to me all these years? I even know the alphabet song...and I've been singing it all my life and everything. Oh! What is going on? French needs the W. Sad

Steph

-pushing your buttons a little, but seriously, where did you hear that French doesn't use a W?

These are just some of the letters I use all the time. So actually, you could say that French has more letters than English. :p

...blasted English only spell-checks...grumble grumble grumble...

I've been singing the same song, and, yes, there is a "W" pronounced just as you wrote it, followed by X, Y and Z. Gee, if I try to write them phonetically I may just embarrass myself...something like "do-bleh-vay," "eeks," "egrek" (?) and "zed."

Does that sound right, Stephanie?

I recommend pleasant.

Very astute of you, that’s for pointing it out.

I stand corrected, I was going by what I had heard as a boy learning Braille.

Thanks,

Sounds just right! Egrek is my new favourite word. (Even if it's made up. Rolleyes )
