A common response to my profuse public pontifications about the history of the alphabet is ‘could we add new letters?’ With the phonemically faulty state of English spelling in mind, the question is one that I enjoy; it’s heartening to see \[ \] ## [Submission Sunday 8.2.26: Links](https://submissionsunday.substack.com/p/080226-links) _2026-08-02 · Chris Daley · Submission Sunday_ The latest links roundup of articles and posts on submitting and writing in general ## [Submission Sunday 7.26.26](https://submissionsunday.substack.com/p/072626) _2026-07-26 · Submission Sunday_ Harvard Review, 3Elements Literary Review, Copper Nickel and Milkweed Editions, New Letters, YesYes Books, Salt Hill, Popsugar, and Storyknife Writers Retreat ## [Homer’s ABCs](https://dannybate.com/2026/07/24/homers-abcs/) _2026-07-24 · dannylbate · Danny Bate_ Or: Why don’t people in the Iliad and Odyssey write anything down? Sing, goddess, of how Homer is all the rage right now. My timelines have become streams of Nolan-inspired analyses, hot takes and fun facts.

Despite its reputation and the infamous evidence to the contrary, I’m committed to demonstrating how regular English spelling actually is. Yet words like sugar and sure, I admit, mock that vocation. In being pronounced as if they began with SH, the pair require me \[ \] ## [Generate Viral Hot Takes (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/0P4iBdDzqNlY) _2026-07-10 · **Sponsored**_ Get platform-optimized hot takes and rebuttals to spark debate and engagement ## [Submission Sunday 7.5.26: Links](https://submissionsunday.substack.com/p/070526-links) _2026-07-05 · Chris Daley · Submission Sunday_ The latest links roundup of articles and posts on submitting and writing in general ## [Did the Philistines Speak Greek?](https://dannybate.com/2026/07/03/did-the-philistines-speak-greek/) _2026-07-03 · dannylbate · Danny Bate_ It’s often nice to spot familiar faces where you don’t expect them, like an unforeseen run-in with a friend while on holiday.

This land is nominally subject to its own Lord, passes laws in a Tynwald, and is called home by 84,000 humans, a population of tail-less cats, an internationally famous \[ \] ## [Why Q Needs USA!](https://dannybate.com/2026/06/02/why-q-needs-usa/) _2026-06-02 · dannylbate · Danny Bate_ A personal newsflash: today (June 2nd) sees the US release of my bestselling banquet of historico-linguistic nerdery, Why Q Needs U – that book about the alphabet and the English language that came out in the UK last October and has consistently haunted British bookshops since then.

The talk’s topic fitted into my overall research into the word order of ancient Indo-European languages. My task was to acquire, present, evaluate and compare the available evidence, upon \[ \] ## [The Inglish Language](https://dannybate.com/2026/05/01/the-inglish-language/) _2026-05-01 · dannylbate · Danny Bate_ It seems all too appropriate that a language infamous for its quirks of spelling should display a quirk of spelling in its very name. The word English would reasonably guide total newcomers to pronounce it with a short E, like the one typically to be heard in pen. Instead, their ears are due to be \[ \] ## [Meet English’s Newest Consonant](https://dannybate.com/2026/04/16/meet-englishs-newest-consonant/) _2026-04-16 · dannylbate · Danny Bate_ As stable as they may seem, every sound of every spoken language, at some point in the past, didn’t exist. The incessant shifting of speech involves the innovation of sounds, when either new ones are born or old ones transform.

Miss me with your petrichor and antidisestablishmentarianism; I’d much rather tell you about apple. This isn’t my contrarian streak speaking. I take genuine joy in the fact that tracing the etymology of \[ \]
