Misleading Alphabet
You know how in children's songs and tv shows they often say things like "E is for Elephant!" or "A is for Apple!". Well, we were just thinking one day, the English language is strange sometimes and words don't always sound like their first letter at all. Wouldn't it be funny if you had a whole alphabet of words with silent or misleading beginnings? I'm still not sure there is a misleading word for every letter in the alphabet, but we're going try.

Warning: Do not use this list to mislead children and hamper there learning of the alphabet. We disclaim any responsibility if you set this list to music, sing to your children every night and they grow up unable to read. Don't do that.

If you have any suggestions for finishing the list feel free to contact me.
