D Is For Destiny
So, my wife & I ordered the "D Is For Destiny" children's book for, well, our children. For those who may not know, it is basically a Destiny themed alphabet book, wherein each letter has its own page and revolves around some Destiny based word (e.g. T for Traveler, F for Fallen, V for Vex, etc). Well anyway, it just arrived today and I sat down to read it to my 3 kids (ages 5, 3, & 2, which will be relevant in a moment). I have a major gripe with this book. And most of you will think it's unimportant. But I don't.
When we got to the letter X, it was a pair of couplets about "Exo". They used "Exo" for the letter X. Now, fellow Guardians, since I am communicating with you via text format, I want you to look and tell me: Does "Exo" start with X? I'm not teaching my kids coincidental sounds, I'm teaching them the alphabet. Even my 5 year old (told you it would be relevant) was "reading" along with me (looking at the words on the pages), and said "But Daddy that word doesn't start with X". I had to explain to her that it at least contains the letter X, and the way it's pronounced could sound like it starts with an X.
Hmm. Let's see if we can collectively come up with a prominent Destiny related word that actually [i]does[/i] start with the letter X. If only it were currently Saturday, then maybe something would spring to mind. Oh wait...
Got there yet?
Xür. X. X is for Xür.
This is disappointing. I realize it's not a huge deal. But come on. I mean, really?!

When I was a kid, the popular word for teaching x was "box". I'm guessing they don't want kids to get confused & think x is always supposed to make the "z" sound.

9 RepliesIf it was truly based on Destiny, the book would have you repeat A,B,C,D, & E relentlessly before moving onto F and then once they add G they make A,B,C,D,E & F obsolete, and so on. And by the time the book gets around to the letter K, they quit support for it with the announcement of "D is for Destiny 2." And no, A through K do not carry over.
