For our third month in “What If”, our journalists look into how this world would vary without “E”. I don’t want to imply any drug, but a symbol fifth in British syllabary. It is crucial to forming many words. In fact, it forms a vital contribution to 186,136 words in our vocabulary, not including diction from abroad.
In my opinion, it could draw on which connotations link to its sound. I submit that this digit facing scrutiny could bring an amount of joy to words that hold it. I harbour no doubt that in just saying it, you might find high spirits rising in your stomach. In pronouncing it, your mouth lifts at its limits, producing a grin. That amply shows how it links you to an aura of happy.
This discussion, mind, unlocks a can of worms. Could you do without an additional symbol? How much would you miss “A”? In truth, missing two vowls puts us in much mor difficult position. Why not rmov som consonnts, sy “T” nd “S”? hi mk rlly difficul iuion. You could rgu i lvs u in n unnbl poiion. I propos h our lphb i in prfc blnc, nd myb w hould’n chng hing. It’s almost as if “E” was always bound to hold a spot.
