Why are the other roman numerals there but C and M are not 100 and 1000? Also what is E-Idiot??
Idiot starts with one of the sounds that E can produce. In the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet), idiot is written “/ˈɪdiːət/”. If you say just the letter ‘E’, the sound you are making, in English, at least, is ‘ɪ’.
I see. Never would have got that. But I am not a native speaker and I do think the way english spelling works is utterly moronic.
Neither am I, but I’ve been studying English for long enough to feel pride in understanding this insulting language.
You can tell it’s American because they don’t think herb has a h in it.

I had to really think about L for fifty buy I think it’s the Roman numeral?
(am dumb ass and still in bed)
Correct!
M as in “Mancy”
I legitimately, calmly, and matter-of-factly said this once on the phone while spelling something, because the phrase “M as in ‘Mancy’” was seared into my brain from years of reading reddit comments. And then I had to sound like an idiot being like “sorry no no I mean ‘m’ as in ‘Mary’ I’m sorry.”
Literally just did this last week lol
