Lost letter

[Jacob]

Is it true that underwater lexycogrofers...lexeecograbbits...er, dictionary writers 'ave found the legendary 27th letter o' the alphabet, missing all these years? If so, what will it look like a'ter all his toim?

[Jacob]

Oh dear, oi meant to say undercover, not underwater, which is jes silly. oi feels a twit now.

[FredPuli]

Pity. I know the underwater letter is P. At least it's underwater in our Public Baths.Have to think about undercover......

Isn't "&" (and-per-se-"and") the 27th letter of the alphabet?

Whether there are any lost letters, there are certainly too many real letters. E and I could be used for Y; TH could be used for F (and indeed V, and maybe W) and L; C could used for K, Q and S, indeed for Z and X (X-ray could be spelt Ecc-rai) G could be used for J. So that's 11 redundant letters.

Jacob, ignore all this unseemly stuff. Yes it is true they found the 27th letter. It is shaped like the letter "L" with a bit stuck out backwards. They found it, under the mangle down at Mother Grimshaws, all covered in fluff and cat hair (odd because, as you know, she doesn't have a cat and her Husband, when he was alive, was bald...probably still is). However, they do not yet know what the letter is called. Which is probably as well, because they have not one single word to put it in. Perhaps some AB user can suggest a name for it.

Ta Doris, oi know it would turn up somewhere. Glad they found it, oi can sleep easily now.
