What is the need for CAPITAL and "small" alphabets in English?

Question

Can we say in English we have 26 pronounciations and not letters (alphabets). In fact it has a minimum of 52 letters. All such western languages are so illogical that they have two letters for each pronunication. So we should stop syaing EBGLSIH has only 26 alphabets.

Answer 1

Ooooh dear. The pudding is still a little soggy at the bottom isn't it.


We have *ONE* alphabet
There are 26 letters in the English alphabet
We are clever so we can use upper AND lower case
Pronunciation is how a letter sounds - nothing to do with a letter

Answer 2

like mark t said a pronounciation is how you say a letter in speech
and theres no 52 letters, its still 26, ur probably a little drunk,
the capital letter system was devised to make it easier to distinguish things like names from just another word, and to make it a littele clearer when ur starting a new sentence. what language do u mean is simpler anyway? u should try chinese now thats an illogical languge to write in.

Answer 3

Capital letters are used for highlighting or expressing the anger, shouting or something which needs more attention. Small letters can be used ne where.

Answer 4

e, it relatively is the finest formed letter, for my area. not the uppercase E, the lowercase e. A random certainty approximately e is that it relatively is the main ordinarily used letter in the alphabet.
