Last night at the dinner table, Mary was asking how the lower case 'p' was pronounced. I realized her confusion and explained that lower case letters and upper case letters make the same sounds. "The only time I think that is not true is with the letter 'i'. The upper case 'I' standing alone always says the long 'I' sound /I/, not /i/, because it is a proper pronoun."
Mary: "Oh. That's sad. We should pray for the /I/."
