Decanting D


Dilute winter doldrums by dreaming decadent D sentences! First, some D data for you digest.

Origins: fish or door (1)
Greek: delta
Frequency: 10th most frequent letter in English (2)
"D" from Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language (1755): "Is a consonant nearly approaching in sound to T, but formed by a stronger appulse of the the tongue to the upper part of the mouth. The sound of D in English is uniform, and it is never mute." (3)
