re: Language
@socks orthography is weird
reminds me of how the only reason the latin alphabet has the letter k (that sound was already represented by c, after all) is because people insisted on using it for greek loanwords because greek stuff was Fancy at the time
why that letter and not literally any other part of the greek alphabet, i couldn't say
-F
re: Language
@Felthry It's definitely a strange case. Off the top of my head I can't even think of any words that use w and aren't loanwords, but it's there in the alphabet we're taught
In order to teach kids and such the example that's usually used is something like "waterpolo"
