Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

A letter after Z

As you know the numbers seem to go on and on. Once I got to 100 and i asked myself "how many could there be?". As i soon found out the numbers actually go on to infinity. Now the question is why cant we apply this to letters too? Maybe there is a letter infinity? I think this exists, but it is very hard to get to it to be sure, so really it is a sort of philosophical question since we can never know for sure. What do you think?

Re: A letter after Z

I vote for ð and then Þ because English already had them once but no longer so let's bring them back who's with me

Re: A letter after Z

numbers are not analogues to letters, digits are. look at the hexadecimal number system
we only have digits from 0 to 9 and letters from a to z. when we reach 9 we add another digit to the number, making it 10. when we reach z we add another letter to the number, making it aa.

Re: A letter after Z

Depends on the encoding.


One bot to rule them all, one bot to find them. One bot to bring them all... and with this cliché blind them.

Re: A letter after Z

Better idea: Let's remove redundant letters like C when we have bothK and S or vowel Y when we have E and I

Exactly. Capital letters are used to begin a sentence and the rest is written in low case letters. Just like this.
Many computer encodings also have the values for A...Z before the a...z . I'm uncertain if any standard one has an "a" after "Z", though.

Re: A letter after Z

the alphabet used to end with "x, y, and z, and per se &", pronounced "and per se and", which got corrupted to ampersand, which is now what we call "&".


(c/p from wikipedia:

It was also common practice to add the "&" sign at the end of the alphabet as if it were the 27th letter, pronounced as the Latin et or later in English as and. As a result, the recitation of the alphabet would end in "X, Y, Z, and per se and". This last phrase was routinely slurred to "ampersand" and the term had entered common English usage by 1837.)


therefore, the letter after Z is "&"
