Since we're into corrections on spelling:   It is "two" syllables and it is also "Jesus". Also "Sanctity".    Yes, needs definitely to revisit spelling class.   A B C D E F G.....hooked on phonics works for thee.

There are two spellings for these words. The ones with the 'z's are from the US and were changed to more closely match the sound sometime during the 1950s.\nSingaporean book writers have been influenced by both British and American spelling over the years and tend to use a mixture of the two.

The phonetic alaphbet is to avoid confusion.  On the phone, did he say his name was Bean, Dean, Stean...  No with a B.  You said D?  so they standardized it, so if I say bravo, you won't confuse it with Delta.  it's alpha, bravo, C is for charlie, delta, echo, foxtrot, gulf, hotel, india, juliet, kilo, lima, mike, november, oscar, papa, quebec, romeo, sierra, tango, uniform, victor, whiskey, x-ray, yankee and zulu

The abbreviation "lbs." certainly seems like a strange way to write "pounds," until you consider the origin of the word. Like many terms used in science, the word "pound" has a Latin background. It comes from "libra pondo," the Latin expression for a "pound of weight." The English word "pound" comes from "pondo," and the abbreviation "lb." comes from "libra." When you are referring to more than one pound, an "s" is added to the abbreviation to make it plural, so it becomes "lbs."

I would guess, try to pronounce each letter - so there should be a T sound before the S, the I will be as in Miss, the L will be pronounced longer than a single L, than AN as in Sand.

If you remove the "L" from your name, it becomes "barfy". \n HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!

they are called ligatures, in printing anyway.  you usually see them more often in british english than in american english - it's some relic from latin.\n\nalso, did you know that the & is a ligature too - it's a squished-together e and t, supposedly, to mean the latin "et" which means "and".\n\nin linguistics when two letters represent a single sound, it is called a diphthong.\n\nhope this helps.

In England, the letter 'S' is pronounced like a 'Z' with far more frequency than in America.  Take the word 'eraser', for example.  But there isn't a specific rule, it depends on the word.

Im sure the answer is 'tarrthalai' and there's a fada over the second 'a' and the last letter 'i'. It's pronounced something like 'TAR-hawl-ee'\n\nHope this helps\n\nHave you decided what name to take yet, check out this website, it could give you some idea's www.rootsweb.com/~fianna/surname\nthe last bit on that web address is surname\n\nAh thanks croga xx

It's 'Magpie' according to the New Exeter Statue. Not sure about the letters, though. Must be 'magpie' in Middle English.

It's a fancy 'L' and it stands for pounds = 'libra'(Latin)/'livres' (French).\n'librum' = pound in Latin.

we don't use k,l,m,n anymore. The letters are s,p,d and f. They refer to the different shapes of the shells(orbitals)
