Dear Z (Part 26 in a 26-part series)

Dear Z,

I have a confession to make, Z. I find you fascinating.  I mentioned last month that F is my second-favourite letter to write in cursive, well, you are my favourite. There’s something about your curves and loops that completely appeals to me.  You bring us such fine words as zero, zealous and zygote.  As a side note, the Devil’s Dictionary defines zygote in this manner: “not the root, but the seed of all Evil.”
Z, do you think the defunct letter zog will feel left out for not having its own letter? I wasn’t quite sure how to approach that situation. I mean, being pronounced more like a G, written more like a Z and being pronounced zog… Clearly its relationship to G complicates things, but I can’t let that get to me forever, can I?
Alright,
Z, I think that all I have left to say is that you may be last in the alphabet, but you’re first in my heart.

Zdarou,
Peat
