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

There’s always the NATO alphabet: Echo, Lima, Mike, November

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.)

Actually didn’t know the song. I only speak Chinese and Japanese other than English.

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
