    I would have loved to be behind this guy as a kid playing the alphabet game with my dad and sister!

    When I first learned my abc’s as a kid I thought ‘elemen’ was one letter in the song, but I could never figure out what it looked like.

      I thought it was elemeno P.

      Like some special kind of P that only existed for the purpose of the song. But we never learned about it elsewhere.

    I’ve seen this pic before and only noticed the H. This time I finally noticed the Elemen part this time. I chuckled and almost closed the pic, then I saw the rest. It just keeps on giving!

    Jesus how do you people live with language with letters so confusingly similar such as E, EL, EM and EN?

      Those are easy. What’s really silly is that in certain fonts I and l look exactly the same! Yes, those are two different characters that I typed.

      Here they are in a code block

      I and l

      It’s E. L, M and N.

      It’s just kind of a joke when you first learn the alphabet and sing the kids song, how L, M and N happen to be pronounced when said in sequence.

      What language do you come from where there is no such similar phenomenon? (It’s basically an alliteration.)
