Words beginning with D suitable for teaching children the alphabet? Seriously?2toise 03:32, 20 Oct 2003 (UTC)


 * Sure, 2toise, and I'm glad you brought the subject up. Since letters are the building blocks of words, and children's first traditional entry to learning language, I think it is a creative and useful entry to Wikipedia's articles on the alphabet.  And I would welcome your ideas for entries relating to the rest of the alphabet.  Paul Klenk 03:37, 20 Oct 2003 (UTC)


 * Um, children's first traditional entry to learning language is listening to their parents talk, not letters of the alphabet. Nohat

Delta-number combinations
Anyone know of something to do when making dis-ambiguation pages involving a Delta-number combination?? (See User:Georgia guy/Letter number combinations for the definition.)

I've been checking D6 and I can't find any other uses of D6 when studying Special:Allpages. I've been using D6 and D-6. Any way to find uses of D6 other than that?? Not all articles the dis-ambiguation pages of this kind link to can be found this way (e.g. Channel 4 is in C4 but it cannot be found by studying Special:Allpages/C4.)

D digraphs
Aren't dge and dj digraphs as they represent one sound?Cameron Nedland 23:15, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Egyptian D
That symbol isn't actually an Egyptian D. An Egyptian D is a hand. 97.127.34.184 (talk) 21:03, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Unit of time

 * A lower case d is used for the unit of time called "day", defined as 86,400 SI seconds. ...

D and d have plenty of other symbolic uses. Why not leave them all to D (disambiguation)? —Tamfang (talk) 00:57, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

mumbo-jumbo
In a recent book published at TheBookEdition, L'alphabet latin, Thierry de Mortain explains that the half-moon shaped letter D was representing the moon, and hence the star of the fecundity for the Romans.

This sentence was out of place, at best. —Tamfang (talk) 22:27, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

Why "O"?
Um the illustration purporting to show a cursive "D", etc. shows two "O's" Why is that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.95.43.249 (talk) 23:18, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

change "D is the grade below C but above E" to "D is the grade below C but above F" NOT identical to the alphabet 2600:6C44:237F:ACCB:A97C:D987:610E:E616 (talk) 23:15, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
