oops, accidental post . Come up with a topic.

Hey, how about having an argument? Oh, that's already been done. Hmmm. Maybe, "What's the best letter ever invented?" That's not off topic, is it? My vote would be for Q. I find that letter to be a fascinating image and idea. (Applause to the person who came up with the idea for the letter Q). R is okay, too, but I think that Q takes the cake. A looks good, but it's very sharp and blocky, while Q is nice and round, with a little line at the bottom.
aideu,
Sir Penguin

hehehe...
actually I disagree (oh no).
I vote for S. It's sooo...curvy.
pilotdaze posted 09-21-99 08:16 PM ET
letters are nice but have you considered the value of having an O. quite similara to the Q but different.

quite a bit too curvy

O's are okay, but they're rather plain, eh? A Q is an O with an extra flourish. Hmmm. Maybe the G. It has a sort of roundness, with a beautifully done extra complexity which adds some nice variation to the alphabet.
The S must have been invented by a man, along with B and M (mmmmm)! [ Yeah, I know. And I'd like to point out that I'm a male and that was sarcasm. Albeit rather stupid sarcasm.] S is pretty good, especially with the serifs, which accentuate the ends of the single, nicely simplistic line.
Brought to you by the letter S and P--only my favorite letters when combined with i, r, e, n, g, and u.
Bless them Romans!

well, then, I vote for K. Words with K's in them are funny.
so:
Q: 1
S: 1
K: 1
all the rest: 0

What the hell is going on in this thread. Oh well I'll vote for K. my favourity lettery
Beta1 posted 09-22-99 07:38 AM ET
What about Y? Not only is it a letter but its a question all on its own!
I don't think much of Q - it cant get anywhere without a U to follow it and give it some support.
Beta-Y

It really depends on what your tastes are. If you like simplicity, you might like the I or C or one of those (without serifs). But if you're complex, you may like the G. A's and M's and N's would be for people who like sharpness and regularity. A Q would characterize a dependent person, or a person who would stand out in a crowd because of their rarity. C for a forward-thinking or open person. And Z...we don't know what Z is. It is something for which we doctors don't have a name yet.
Krushala: to answer what's going on in this thread, we are having a deep discussion on which letter of the alphabet is the best, and if you have nothing of value to add to this pressing topic, say nothing ( ).
