What common English word is 9 letters long and each time you remove a letter it still remains an English word, from 9 letters down to one letter, until you reach its last letter?
You must start with the original 9 letter word and remove the correct letters until you get to the last letter. Show all your work

Perception vs Con-ception: When i wuz (was) of the age 14 i
learned that the meaning of the word Alphabet does not mean or implies in any way 26 letters but only two. What would be those two letters and why? The English Alphabet pronounces one letter for what it iz (is) not, even when you perceptionally see the letter for what it should be pronunced yet we do not pronounce it in any English word. Why iz that?
It is the lettter W. It even sounds like another letter. hint hint.
alpha beta. alphabet. Greek. Those are the first two letters A and B. Even in Hebrew it is aleph, bet . And W looks like a double V not U. But I think that is because it was not in our original alphabet. The ancient Greeks did not have a U.
