Have you ever thought how letters are spelled? Some are kind of repetitive. To be honest I don't know why I think about certain things. I wonder how you would spell these letters in another lauguage?
A - ey
B - bee
C - sea
D - dee
E - eii
F – eif
G - jee
H - aitch
I - eye
J - jay
K - kei
L - el
M - em
N - in
0 - ohe
P - pea
Q - cue
R - are
S - ess
T - tea
U - you
V - vi
W - doubleyou
X - ecks
Y - why
Z - zee
What language are you trying to spell them in? Because I'm certain you don't have them all correct in English... n = en, for example. You do know there are standardized spellings, right?

Well I just sounded them out and did my best. When I walk "in" somewhere sure does sound like the letter N.
And I don't know anything about Canadian or other ways letters might be pronounced.

I hope you didn't think I was trying to make fun of you in my comment!
Pronunciations may vary according to region...but the spelling generally stays the same. Around my (new) area people pronounce "n" e-in (2 syllables). :)
There should be some rule where your not allowed to spell out a letters pronounciation including that letter. How are you gonna create a pronounciation using e when your defining how to pronounce e?

If you look at the wikipedia source I posted you'll see they have a pronounciation guide...it didn't translate well on pasting so I removed it.

I tried this...pretty much imposible...in most cases. Q, W, and X were the only ones I could follow this rule with.

interesting. I thought New Zealand was the only place that mixed up the short e and the short i. I used to game on an aussie server and my characters name was "zviff". I could always tell when someone was from NZ because they would call me "zeff". and they say "sex" instead of "six". man they never heard the end of it :p
