"I"

The Letter of the Day is was "I".

I is for inanity as in frivolity or lack of seriousness.

(Hat tip to G for the link.)

"I" as a phoneme is very cool. It is one of very few phonemes with intrinsic and autonomous meaning and it has several different ones:

  • There's "I" as in "I wish that certain media lines would take their collective heads out of their collective asses."

  • There's "Eye" as in "If one more hysterically biased anti-American article comes out of Reuters somebody is getting an eye gouged out."

  • Then there's "Aye" as in "Are you serious about gouging somebody's eye out?" "Aye, count on it."
