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

      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.)
