D› is the fourth letter in the Latin alphabet. Its name in English (pronounced /ˈdiː/) is spelled ‹dee›, plural dees.

History

Egyptian hieroglyph door Proto-Semitic Dal, Daleth Phoenician daleth Etruscan D Greek Delta Roman D

The Semitic letter Dâlet probably developed from the logogram for a fish or a door. There are various Egyptian hieroglyphs that might have inspired this. In Semitic, Ancient Greek, and Latin, the letter represented /d/; in the Etruscan alphabet the letter was superfluous but still retained (see letter B). The equivalent Greek letter is Delta, ‹Δ›.

The minuscule (lower-case) form of ‹d› consists of a loop and a tall vertical stroke. It developed by gradual variations on the majuscule (capital) form. In handwriting, it was common to start the arc to the left of the vertical stroke, resulting in a serif at the top of the arc. This serif was extended while the rest of the letter was reduced, resulting in an angled stroke and loop. The angled stroke slowly developed into a vertical stroke.

I'd like a camera that is high quality and versatile. What do you suggest?
Q. I'm interested in taking photography lessons and take amazing pictures of my travels and of friends/family. I'd like a high quality camera that is easy to travel with and does not take up too much space. However, Im not fond of the super slim cameras. Any suggestions from the photographers out there?

A. Digital or film? what's your budget? If film then you can get a good 35mm SLR, Nikon, Pentax or Canon. If Digital there are some that are better than point and shoot but not as advanced as a DSLR like the Canon S5is that is quite comapct reasonably priced and very flexible. Or a low end DSLR like the Canon Rebel XTi For mor info check out the link below. The rest is up to you.

when the L/D ratio becomes bigger, is this then good or bad?
Q. and how does this L/D work? When climbing, you have a lift ratio, and a drag ration. If lift ratio is 10, and drag ratio is 2, then L/D ratio is 5?

A. The higher the number, the better the efficiency: i.e. more lift, less drag. Read about it here:
