I was doing word puzzles the other night when a thought struck me: I really like the letter T. I wouldn't say it's my absolute favourite letter but it is in my top 3.
If I had to choose a favourite I think it would have to be O. It's so perfect in sound and shape. They're both soft letters, which I tend to prefer, and T is just so very useful for so many things. Rather like N, S or R, our words would be dull without it. It can blend or add emphasis; soothe over the moment or create a tension. And its shape, whether a capital or small case, is pleasing.
I'm indifferent about N, tend to dislike S - but appreciate its qualities - and am ambivalent about R. (To err is human; to arrr is pirate.)
I also like K, which, although hard, has attitude, character, the old kicking C of learning the alphabet.
I have put a lot of thought into this you can tell.
What's your favourite letter?

Gee, I've never thought of this before. You really do have a creative mind, you know! lol Let's see now.....
the letter L - for Leslie of course. Try saying "l" - notice how the tip of your tongue hits the back of your two front teeth.
Least favourite leter :-
"Dear John..."
Interesting question! I never thought about it, but when your post made me think, the letter B came to mind! There's something upbeat and cheerful about B. I don't know why.
Love your play on R - err vs. arrr!
I like what you had to say about K because it so aptly describes me, haha! Hmmmmm...after some thought, I think M is my favorite. I dunno why. Just like 5 is my favorite number. Aren't we humans weird?!
I can't say I've thought about it but I think it's E.
Mmm! X it has lots of possibilities :-)
Yes, I like L too, leslie; it's a very relaxed letter.
Ah, yes, of course, stu.
B's another good one, mauigirl.
I don't have a favourite number, kris, but I dislike 7 very much.
E is a very practical letter, welshcakes, very suitable for a cook and teacher.
I see where you're coming from, cherrypie!
I love the beauty of "Q" although perhaps not its sound.
