The Alphabet(a)

Ok. I have marvelled at myslef long enough. I am going to share my new found theory!! I was considering the alphabet for sometime a few weeks ago and then it hit me. The Alpha-bet(a). ..The alphabet originated in Eygypt, however there symbols are not seen in the alphabet used today. The alphabet was quickly picked up by the Greeks and developed into the 24 letters that are used frequently today. Such symbols are commonly found in mathematics. Anyway back to my point. The reason why we call the Alphabet, the Alphabet is because of the first 2 greek letters Alpha and Beta... It would have taken too long to say the whole alphabet so they abbreviated it to the first two letters!! Alphabet!! Hehe...

Right that's enough thinking!! Went to a quiz last night and did appaulingly...I couldn't even cheat properly as my sources were too slow!! After the quiz I went round to Adams and watched a bit of Music TV...not actually MTV...just the music television channels...

...And then...I actually got an early nights sleep!! The last time I looked at the clock was 12:30!!! This may not seem early to you, but for the past 15 weeks (well year really) I have been lucky to be asleep before 3!!

I never quite know how to end my posts.

What is this-wikipedia? lol. I do frequently find them in 'mathematics' but interestingly when was the last time you counted how many letters there are in the alphabet. I Was always sure there were 26...unless you were talking merely about the greeks-but then those letters aren't quite the same as the modern ones nd i wouldn't say they were 'used frequently'!

Sorry my text was late...but iyou don't even know about 'The Wickerman', what dya expect? It's a classic!

Oh yes and if this was Wikipedia, you would know that the origin of 'Alphabet' was still unclear, with some people thinking it comes from 'aleph' and 'bet' the first 2 letters of the Phoenician alphabet, which later became the hebrew alphabet. So ha! How annoying and picky am i! :-)
