if you could invent another letter for the alphabet, what would the letter look like, what would it sound like, and what would it be called?

It would look like a t scored through. It would have no sound and it would be called the absent t, as used by Londoners when they say butter.

There are only 25 letters in the alphabet. Cos the angel said no 'l'.
Apologies, it's late and Christmas is coming.

In English is easy you only have 26 letters.In the Bulgarian we have 30 letters so...yes i can.But the question is can you think of the 31th letter.I did it some years ago but i can hardly pronounce it let alone write it.Something like a combination between G and H.

There's nothing really left, I mean either they should make Q and u one letter because I don't see them separately that much, or maybe the 27th letter should be a fart sound, that's all that is left.

I've always thought that "ae" and "oe" (the ones that join together) are the "missing" letters of the alphabet.

As a matter of fact, the 27th letter of the alphabet is technically "ampersand" or the symbol "&"!!

I don't think we would need another one since there isn't a real sound we can associate with it, but I'd say a backwards 4 to confuse everyone!

I'd add the Welsh letter LL.. so everyone could correctly pronounce Welsh place names!

I would have the ae letter (imagine no space between the a and the e), pronounced as "aye."
