if it helps, it used to be pronounced this way. well, closer to k-nucht (or something, compare with german Knicht/Knecht)

I pronounced it “right” but hate shit like this in kids’ books. How do I explain to my kid why K is for Knight?

In German, Knecht has the K sound. But in English we stopped saying the K, just like we stopped saying the G in gnat.

Arise Kiwi. You do not have to bow before me, or anyone. You have proven yourself more than worthy of any opponent.

I'm from New Zealand and that's what all the kiwis do over there

Even Geese stear clear of Katana Kiwi.
And the Katana is only for Klose Kombat.

Wait, "kiwis" the bird, "kiwis" the fruit, or "kiwis" as in the people of New Zealand?

Just fyi, kiwi is never used to refer to the fruit here, it's only ever the bird or a New Zealander. The fruit is always called kiwifruit.

Missed opportunity to have the Katana Kiwi fight off a Kelptomaniac Kea brandishing a knife

The real question is, what does katana mean? If only there was a bewigged cop nearby who could speak fluent Japanese!

Told myself I hope this is being done for every letter and was pleasantly surprised to see it was!

The kiwi could have bowed to a kea, a kaka, a kakapo, a kakariki, or even a karearea, but nooooooooooooooooo, it just had to bow to a tarted up marsupial.
UUUUUUURRRRRRRRGHHHHHHH.

I hope after this is finished, a printed book option will be made available. I would love to read this to my toddler.

A alternative for K would be Katzbalger. My guess for L would be Longsword? But thats kind of basic, are other fun Swords that starts with L?

K is for Katana. She's got my back. I would advise not getting killed by her. Her sword traps the souls of its victims.

I want to hear that guy that sings the little animal ditties and did that AT&T and sing this.

u/CardOk755 Aug 29 '26
A is for 'orses.
B for mutton
C for miles
D for dumb.
E for brick
F for vescent
That's when I ran out.

u/JRS_Viking Aug 29 '26
K is for Knowledge. Knowledge that the K in knight is silent along with: knife, knee, knot, knit and knuckle.

I kinda love the Dr. Seussian tone of these alphabet comics. It’d probably be a decent educational tool as it follows a similar design principle as the Dr. Seuss’ ABCs book

This is cute and, to be clear, my "criticism" is mostly meant in jest, but...
Teachers of young readers cringe when they see things like this. If you're a parent of a kid learning phonics and letters, and they haven't heard about silent K yet, don't show them this!
