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.)

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