    What's your favorite letter of the alphabet and why?

    For me? E. So many good words start with E.

    Favorite word? Enunciate. Why? Because you have to do the definition of the word to say the word. I don't think it's even possible to mumble or gargle that word out. You have to...Enunciate...to say it.

    When you deal with human beings, never count on logic or consistency.

    Fluid like water. Smooth like silk. Pepperoni like pizza.

    þ and ƿ are two good ones I think. Why? Because they're cool.

    I do like ï for it's eye-ee pronouciation.

    I am sad when I see people neglect to use it when they write "naïve" because when they write "naive" it's said "nayv"

    Only if you're speaking/writing in the original language of the words origin. Otherwise you make due with the phonetics of the language you're speaking/writing in.

    That letter doesn't exist in the English alphabet, therefore it wouldn't be used when speaking or writing the word in English.

    If you did, you'd just be inserting a random foreign language word into the middle of your sentence. Which; phonetically and grammatically; is not correct.

    It's a diæresis over the I. It is an English grammatical mark that means "seperate the vowels" when you say it.

    coöperate and reëstablish are other words using the diæresis, although lately people have been using hyphens for these ones.

    It's use is likely rarer in the USA than other parts of the English speaking world, but it is used in that country too to a lesser extent, mostly in the New Yorker who are using a style guide from the 1920s still.
