If there was, that would be eight bytes, not an eighth of a byte. For the record, eight bytes is called a quad word.

I had a friend in school called Llewelyn, but have never met a Lloyd. In fact the only L(l)oyd I can think of, Grossman, spells his name with a single L.

I have never heard the Do-Re-Mi song with SOL. It is in fact, SO. That is why the lyrics of the Sound of Music song say: "A needle pulling thread." Having said so, I looked it up on WIkipedia and it has BOTH SO and SOL as options....I was always taught WITHOUT the L.

I agree, the L in SOL seems strange to me. I was always taught it without the L as well. Since LA follows it, the two L sounds blend together anyway making it a redundant letter.

La doesn't necessarily follow sol. It depends on the melody. Any note can follow any note.

You know The Sound of Music did not invent these syllables, right ? Music notes are called that way in many European languages, such as French or Italian. And in those languages, it's definitely "sol" and not "so".

those are just the name of musical notes in for example French.

Do ré mi fa sol la si do

I guess when it's sang the "l" of sol is mixed in with the "l" of la.

I mean, literally hundreds of well-known artists have covered "Blowin' in the Wind." Peter, Paul and Mary, Joan Baez, Stevie Wonder, Neil Young, Marianne Faithfull, Dolly Parton, The Kingston Trio, Pete Seeger, Cher, Sam Cooke, Lena Horne, Bobby Darin, Diana Ross and the Supremes, Etta James, and Elvis Presley, just to name a few. I think it's safe to say they mean the original artist and songwriter.

I definitely read that as "Monday's child is fair of price. What is Tuesday's child?" and thinking it had to rhyme guessed "Full of rice". Upon second glance I was able to guess the right answer though. Never heard that saying.

Monday's child is fair of face,

Tuesday's child is full of grace,

Wednesday's child is full of woe,

Thursday's child has far to go,

Friday's child is loving and giving,

Saturday's child must work for a living,

But the child that's born on the Sabbath day,

Is fair and wise and good and gay.
