How many letters are in the alphabet?

The American Education system: Officially fucked up

And give him/her a falcon punch to the gut from me, thank you ^^

 

[Xbowhyena]

8 letters in the word 'alphabet'

That's good, I'll have to use that one sometime.

 

[MBurner 93]

Your teacher, he's just...just...FUCKING stupid. I mean, how is he a teacher?

 

[Dessembrae]

you are correct...but the Swedish alphabet contains 28 letters, witch is tree more so I win ^^
(we don't technically count W among them even if we do use it separately from V, if you do count it we have 29 letters.)

 

[Jeremy of Awesomton]

26

Show your teacher this thread. Then he'll know how much of a fucktard he is.

 

[WorldCritic]

I didn't know it was possible for a teacher to be retarded.

 

[Octorok]

How is this idiot allowed to teach??? What else has he told you?

Smack him round the base of the skull with a blackjack, and tell him he ought to be sectioned. What can I say? I'm a harsh man.

 

[RavingLibDem]

dude, basically 26, your teachers being a picky *******

 

[garfoldsomeoneelse]

Well, it's been said multiple times, but you are correct, and your teacher needs to be shitcanned for outrageous asshattery.

 

[Sewer Rat]

Go smack your teacher. Tell him/her it's from me.

This, smack for him then elbow in the gut for me.

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?

You are, they are still the same letter. It doesn't really change the meaning of a word or how you say it, usually....

Right, next time your teacher does this, leave the class, go into another class, and ask the class as well as the teacher, how many letters there are in the alphabet. After they all tell you 26, ask the teacher in the class you have crashed to come speak with your teacher and tell him he's retarded. Smiles all round.

 

[MBFCPresident]

Your teacher's a dickhead, dude.

 

[esperandote]

go ask the school's principal how many letters are in the alphabet. When he answers 26 ask him if he would fire anyone that claims that there are 52 letters in it.

it's almost like doing this on a test in a way. If not it just reminded me of that XD

 

[thom_cat_]

Man, some teachers are pretty stupid huh?

Everyone knows W is just two U's slapped together, so it would only be 25 lowercase, 25 uppercase, for a total of 50.

Of course! I knew that... jeez

 

[vampirekid.13]

american is 26 however.

Ask him how many letter keys are on the keyboard.
