<P> The apostrophe, while not considered part of the English alphabet, is used to contract English words . A few pairs of words, such as its (belonging to it) and it's (it is or it has), were (plural of was) and we're (we are), and shed (to get rid of) and she'd (she would or she had) are distinguished in writing only by the presence or absence of an apostrophe . The apostrophe also distinguishes the possessive endings -'s and - s' from the common plural ending - s, a practice introduced in the 18th century; before, all three endings were written - s, which could lead to confusion (as in, the Apostles words). </P> <P> The names of the letters are rarely spelled out, except when used in derivations or compound words (for example tee - shirt, deejay, emcee, okay, aitchless, etc .), derived forms (for example exed out, effing, to eff and blind, etc .), and in the names of objects named after letters (for example em (space) in printing and wye (junction) in railroading). The forms listed below are from the Oxford English Dictionary . Vowels stand for themselves, and consonants usually have the form consonant + ee or e + consonant (e.g. bee and ef). The exceptions are the letters aitch, jay, kay, cue, ar, ess (but es - in compounds), double u, wye, and zed . Plurals of consonants end in - s (bees, efs, ems) or, in the cases of aitch, ess, and ex, in - es (aitches, esses, exes). Plurals of vowels end in - es (aes, ees, ies, oes, ues); these are rare . All letters may stand for themselves, generally in capitalized form (okay or OK, emcee or MC), and plurals may be based on these (aes or As, cees or Cs, etc .) </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Letter </Th> <Th> Modern English name </Th> <Th> Modern English pronunciation </Th> <Th> Latin name </Th> <Th> Latin pronunciation </Th> <Th> Old French </Th> <Th> Middle English </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> / eɪ /, / æ / </Td> <Td> ā </Td> <Td> / aː / </Td> <Td> / aː / </Td> <Td> / aː / </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> bee </Td> <Td> / biː / </Td> <Td> bē </Td> <Td> / beː / </Td> <Td> / beː / </Td> <Td> / beː / </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> cee </Td> <Td> / siː / </Td> <Td> cē </Td> <Td> / keː / </Td> <Td> / tʃeː /> / tseː /> / seː / </Td> <Td> / seː / </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> dee </Td> <Td> / diː / </Td> <Td> dē </Td> <Td> / deː / </Td> <Td> / deː / </Td> <Td> / deː / </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> / iː / </Td> <Td> ē </Td> <Td> / eː / </Td> <Td> / eː / </Td> <Td> / eː / </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> ef (eff as a verb) </Td> <Td> / ɛf / </Td> <Td> ef </Td> <Td> / ɛf / </Td> <Td> / ɛf / </Td> <Td> / ɛf / </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> gee </Td> <Td> / dʒ iː / </Td> <Td> gē </Td> <Td> / ɡeː / </Td> <Td> / dʒeː / </Td> <Td> / dʒeː / </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> jee </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> aitch </Td> <Td> / eɪ tʃ / </Td> <Td> hā </Td> <Td> / haː /> / ˈaha /> / ˈakːa / </Td> <Td> / ˈaːtʃə / </Td> <Td> / aːtʃ / </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> haitch </Td> <Td> / heɪtʃ / </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> i </Td> <Td> / aɪ / </Td> <Td> ī </Td> <Td> / iː / </Td> <Td> / iː / </Td> <Td> / iː / </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> J </Td> <Td> jay </Td> <Td> / dʒ eɪ / </Td> <Td>--</Td> <Td>--</Td> <Td>--</Td> <Td> / ja:/ </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> jy </Td> <Td> / dʒ aɪ / </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> kay </Td> <Td> / keɪ / </Td> <Td> kā </Td> <Td> / kaː / </Td> <Td> / kaː / </Td> <Td> / kaː / </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> el or ell </Td> <Td> / ɛl / </Td> <Td> el </Td> <Td> / ɛl / </Td> <Td> / ɛl / </Td> <Td> / ɛl / </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> em </Td> <Td> / ɛm / </Td> <Td> em </Td> <Td> / ɛm / </Td> <Td> / ɛm / </Td> <Td> / ɛm / </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> en </Td> <Td> / ɛn / </Td> <Td> en </Td> <Td> / ɛn / </Td> <Td> / ɛn / </Td> <Td> / ɛn / </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> O </Td> <Td> o </Td> <Td> / oʊ / </Td> <Td> ō </Td> <Td> / oː / </Td> <Td> / oː / </Td> <Td> / oː / </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> pee </Td> <Td> / piː / </Td> <Td> pē </Td> <Td> / peː / </Td> <Td> / peː / </Td> <Td> / peː / </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Q </Td> <Td> cue </Td> <Td> / kjuː / </Td> <Td> qū </Td> <Td> / kuː / </Td> <Td> / kyː / </Td> <Td> / kiw / </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> ar </Td> <Td> / ɑːr / </Td> <Td> er </Td> <Td> / ɛr / </Td> <Td> / ɛr / </Td> <Td> / ɛr /> / ar / </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> or </Td> <Td> / ɔːr / </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> ess (es -) </Td> <Td> / ɛs / </Td> <Td> es </Td> <Td> / ɛs / </Td> <Td> / ɛs / </Td> <Td> / ɛs / </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> tee </Td> <Td> / tiː / </Td> <Td> tē </Td> <Td> / teː / </Td> <Td> / teː / </Td> <Td> / teː / </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> U </Td> <Td> u </Td> <Td> / juː / </Td> <Td> ū </Td> <Td> / uː / </Td> <Td> / yː / </Td> <Td> / iw / </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> V </Td> <Td> vee </Td> <Td> / viː / </Td> <Td>--</Td> <Td>--</Td> <Td>--</Td> <Td>--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> double - u </Td> <Td> / ˈdʌbəl. juː / </Td> <Td>--</Td> <Td>--</Td> <Td>--</Td> <Td>--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> X </Td> <Td> ex </Td> <Td> / ɛks / </Td> <Td> ex </Td> <Td> / ɛks / </Td> <Td> / iks / </Td> <Td> / ɛks / </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> ix </Td> <Td> / ɪks / </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Y </Td> <Td> wy </Td> <Td> / waɪ / </Td> <Td> hȳ </Td> <Td> / hyː / </Td> <Td> ui, gui? </Td> <Td> / wiː /? </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> / iː / </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> ī graeca </Td> <Td> / iː ˈɡraɪka / </Td> <Td> / iː ɡrɛːk / </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Z </Td> <Td> zed </Td> <Td> / zɛd / </Td> <Td> zēta </Td> <Td> / ˈzeːta / </Td> <Td> / ˈzɛːdə / </Td> <Td> / zɛd / </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> zee </Td> <Td> / ziː / </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> izzard </Td> <Td> / ˈɪzərd / </Td> <Td> / e (t) ˈzɛːdə / </Td> <Td> / ˈɛzɛd / </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Th> Letter </Th> <Th> Modern English name </Th> <Th> Modern English pronunciation </Th> <Th> Latin name </Th> <Th> Latin pronunciation </Th> <Th> Old French </Th> <Th> Middle English </Th> </Tr>
