Dear R (Part 18 in a 26-part series)

Dear R,

You are the letter I roll off my tongue with the utmost pleasure. Mea littera canina, you are imperative to such pirate-y words as “Arrrgh!” and, of course, “rum!”  Why is the rum always gone?  The answer to that, dear pirate, is that the letter R is so fantastic.

R, thank you for Risorgimento and revolutions.  Thank you for Riazan and the word rectal, which always seems to make me giggle just a bit.
You are a most useful and entertaining letter, to be certain.

Ratucama,
Peat
