I know letters in the English alphabet have names: B=bee, C=cee, H=aitch, J=jay, and so on. Here's why I want to know: a guy I work with has claimed there are four elements to this homophone: wright, rite, right, & write, and that is the only homophone with four spellings. A lot rides on my finding that "U" is spelled differently from you, ewe, or yew. davy jones davy jones Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Entire Thread Subject Posted By Posted Name for the letter "U" wentworth 01/15/03 07:29 PM Re: Name for the letter "U" AnnaStrophic 01/15/03 09:16 PM Re: Name for the letter "U" wwh 01/15/03 10:18 PM Re: Name for the letter "U" tsuwm 01/15/03 11:51 PM Re: Name for the letter "U" wsieber 01/16/03 08:53 AM Re: Name for the letter "U" Faldage 01/16/03 10:45 AM Re: Name for the letter "U" wentworth 01/16/03 03:37 PM Re: Name for the letter "U" Faldage 01/16/03 04:07 PM Re: Name for the letter "U" Bean 01/16/03 05:40 PM Re: Name for the letter "U" Faldage 02/05/03 02:41 PM Re: Name for the letter "U" wwh 02/05/03 02:57 PM Moderated by  Jackie  Hop To General Topics ------  Information and announcements  Q&A about words  Wordplay and fun  Words and languages in schools  Miscellany  Weekly Themes  Looking for (writers, speakers,...
