So, I had the *best* idea today.

The best, I swear!

Ana's been a letter-identifying fiend lately. It's great. And I want to capitalize on this as much as possible.

You all remember that game you played when a kid, where somebody'd put an object in a bag or a box, and you had to guess what it was by feeling it, right?

Now, if I had several bags, I could combine this with "alphabet" and... well, it'd be fun.

(I also want to make a book, but that can wait.)

So, please - post away! Any sort of object that could be stored in a bag and that feels nice and distinct and that starts with a letter (nothing unnamed, thanks :P) would be great. Especially I. I have no I. And O. My O (oval things?) sucks.

I have a list already, but I left it at Jenn's. I'll see if I can reconstruct it.

Edit: Other letters are good too. And the "double letter sounds" sh, ch, and th. Just because.

Very true. Take "irregardless" for instance. The word doesn't make any sense at all. "regardless"is basically used to mean "without regard" yet people often add the "ir" prefix to it which is basically accomplishing the same thing as the "less" suffix. This make believe improper word has been used so frequently by so many people that it has actually found a home in the dictionary. So yes, language indeed does change and in that instance there I certainly don't like it.

And I added you as a friend because I like the things that you have to say. In the process i noticed the massive size of your friends list and so will definitely not take offense if I'm not added back. How do you manage to keep up with reading that many friends and communities...

Yeah, I may have decided to use proper grammar with you but you certainly aren't going to get a question mark out of me.
