Cold and damp out so the pair of us have been discussing the possibility of a 25 letter alphabet ilo a walk (or possibly walc).

Good god, man! Are you some sort of American? You’ll be wanting to change spelling, next!

Dinner. Diner. Why the hell do we have the sound of one letter modified by another? It's barmy.

I am not eating Special C for breakfast.

And I am certainly not going to snort some C before going to the pub tonight.

And no way will I tell someone in Dutch "you can".
