How to Discuss a Difference of Opinion

Back when I was a stand-up comic, I had a friend whose name I am going to keep out of this.  He had a bit about how the letters F, L, M, N, S, and X all begin with the letter E.

I loved that bit! I looked forward to it every time he performed.

I’m not sure any paying audience member ever so much as smiled at it.

Note from Missy: This one strikes me especially funny, because designing fonts is now my profession. As such, I do, quite often, have to refer to letters in plural form.

I’ve settled on putting the plural in a completely different place, such as “letters S” or “all versions of S.” Yes, it tends to sound stilted and highfalutin’. And yes, I’m totes OK with that.
