How many letters are in the alphabet?

[MicrosoftPaysMe]

you should totally show him this thread.

Since were different versions separate things all together?

Umm... What?

I said 26 and I was marked wrong as the teacher said "Capitals and small letters, there are actually 52 letters in the alphabet." I argued that were fundamentally the same and he said they are totally different symbols used in different situations than each other.

Who's right?

Was the question letters or character?

you were right if it was letters, but both of you are wrong if it's characters.

Sorry, thanks for pointing that out. Fixed it now.

 

[Lord Raiyu]

Your both wrong. Chuck Norris is right.

Tell him he's a cock and due to recent developments anything he attempts to teach you from now on is rendered obsolete because he's obviously a massive wang.

You, regardless of whether an "A" is capital or not, it's still an "A" and I'd like to argue the fact that they are used in completely different situations. Take the recent game inFamous. Right there a capital is used where normally a lower case letter should suffice, and they also replace the capital "I" with a lower case letter.

Basically, your teacher is a retard.

Take into account language was spoken before written, there are no capitals in speech (sure theres some! marks)

Um...I'm sure you had a point, but I'm not quite sure what it is.

Your right, it's 26.

28 for me. I include Ñ and Ll.

28 for me too Ñ and Ng.

Your teacher pulled a dick move. That's something that should be reported to the Principal. Teachers can't find loopholes to mark answers wrong.

 

[Iampringles]

In the English alphabet, there are 26 letters.

 

[Evertw]

I'm used to 29 letters.

Æ Ø Å

Stupid teacher, capital letters or lowercase letters don't count.

 

[Evertw]

Wait, how, and you put A twice.

 

[blipblop]

your teacher is stupid, get him/her fired and replaced!!!
btw it depens were your from i got 29 letters in my alpahbet whit the addon of åäö

 

[Spirit_Of_Fire]

It depends what country you are from, there are 26 in the English alphabet, but in other languages they have variations of the letter which counts as a new letter, so therefore they have more.

Get it in writing, if you haven't been marked down. Photocopy it. Take a copy to the Headmaster. If no joy is found there, take it to the local school district administrator (i.e. whoever is in charge of the quality of teaching in your area). By the end of the month you could have new staff working at your school...

Your teacher was being a dick/***** probably because he/she got dumped or something.
