Was somebody watching QI last night?

Dammit, I missed QI? Ah well.

~*~Actually theres 30.~*~

According to my textbook, there /were/ 30 letters until recently. "Ch" and "ll" are no longer considered seperate letters, so there's 28 now.

What are the extra ones?

What?! ... They're not allowed to change stuff I already know. I was taught 30 letras so there ARE 30 letras.



(the "extra" letters now would be rr, the rolling R, and ñ which is pronounced ny as in nyuck nyuck nyuck... Hey MOE!)

At our annual Superbowl party, we use Scrabble tiles to come up with rearrangements of the team names. This year's best was (with the letters of "Indianapolis Colts"):

"I can spot island oil."

Sounds like a Bush administration slogan ... so after Iraq, maybe ... Trinidad?

~*~What?! ... They're not allowed to change stuff I already know.~*~

Don't shoot the messenger. They were dropped in 1994.

Yea... And I'm an old geezer... I studied Spanish in 1982 when there were still 30 letras.
