My favorite letter is L

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, my 8 year-old niece and I were arguing over how many letters were in the alphabet. Guess who was right. FML
I agree, your life sucks 8 107
You deserved it 51 276

Same thing different taste

Even if you didn't remember the number off the top of your head, you could have always sung it. Your niece would have joined in and you could have been on MLIA instead of FML. By the way, I really hope that you don't teach kindergarten.

No matter of quickly you sing lmnop, it's still five letters.

I think #7 MAY just be Captain Obvious in disguise. "Not all languages have the same number of letters in their alphabets." DUH

don't worry, you're not alone. I remember in kindergarden, my teacher thought there were 25 letters of the alphabet and the whole class argued against her. So she counted them. =D

There are 11 letters in the alphabet. mind=blown

I usually think there are 24 letters upon pondering that question. The number 24 is more common than the number 26 in everyday life. It's easy to forget consodering its not knowlege you acces every day. Yes I have a degree and a minor in english, it happens. But never argue with children, you'll never win.
