R ( / ˈ ɑr /, Hiberno-English: / ˈ ɔr /; named ar or or) is the eighteenth letter of the basic modern Latin alphabet.

History

Egyptian hieroglyph tp Proto-Semitic head Phoenician resh Etruscan R Greek Rho Later Etruscan R

The original semitic letter was probably inspired an Egyptian hieroglyph for "head", pronounced t-p in Egyptian, but it was used for /r/ by Semites because in their language, the word for "head" was Rêš (also the name of the letter). It developed into Greek Ρ ῥῶ (Rhô) and Latin R. It is likely that some Etruscan and Western Greek forms of the letter added the extra stroke to distinguish it from a later form of the letter P.

The minuscule (lower-case) form of r developed through several variations on the capital form. In handwriting it was common not to close the bottom of the loop but continue into the leg, saving an extra pen stroke. The loop-leg stroke shortened into the simple arc used today. Another minuscule, r rotunda (ꝛ), kept the loop-leg stroke but dropped the vertical stroke, although it fell out of use around the 18th century.

Asked by Julia - Sat Jan 2 22:37:20 2010 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It's not just drinks, although that's part of it. A bartender should know about the spirits themselves. What makes gin different than vodka? What makes Tennessee Whiskey different than bourbon? What's scotch? What's a good rye? What are some potato vodkas? What's the difference between brandy and cognac? What's the difference between anejo and resposado tequila? And there's technique; if I order a cocktail "up" what does that mean? With a twist? And glassware; what's the difference between a highball glass and a Collins glass? Between a white wine glass and a red wine glass? There's liability issues; how do you know when to cut someone off? How do you politely cut someone off? What do you if polite doesn't work? What's your policy on… [cont.]
