Was anybody else curious as a child about how we were supposed to spell letters?

Like if we can spell a number, then we must be able to spell similar characters. Okay, yes, the letter H exists, but how tf do you spell it? aich? aych?

Ya’ll 3rd grade me had to get tested for learning disabilities because I REFUSED to give this argument up.

I wondered too but, I would just spell H as “H” 😂 They probably had you tested to cover up the fact that they didn’t know how to spell “H” either lol

Yeah but I kept it to myself.

I failed quizzes growing up cause I would spell the letters out on the multiple choice questions and they’d mark it wrong and I refused to stop

"Spell letters"...no.. my teachers had us pronounce them as we were reading them so they were ingrained in our brains.
