Dear N (Part 14 in a 26-part series)

Dear N,

You don’t really follow the rules, you funny, fellow.  You are supposed to remain silence when you come after the letter M, but you really don’t, do you?  I mean, there’s the obvious case of when we sing the alphabet song, we don’t just neglect to mention you because you follow M, but N, check out the word ‘damnation.’  You must pronounce the N or else it just sounds funny.  We can’t have that, now can we? No. No silliness. And there you have it, N; my favourite word you give us: No. Additionally, I happen to enjoy nonsense, numerical, and numb. You’re quite a nifty letter, N.

Namasté,
Peat
