One-Letter Words

Abstract

How many one-letter words are there in the English language? If you answered 26, well done! If you answered anything else, take four weeks vacation in Siberia. Examination of any English dictionary will uncover the fact that all 26 letters of the alphabet are words in their own right. The usual dictionary definitions of most single-letter words are, however, somewhat mundane.
