In a battle between Letters and Numbers, who would win? 
If a war ever took place, if Numbers decided that they should be the masters of the universe, and they declared a war upon the Letters, who would emerge victorious?
How would either Letters or Numbers defeat the other?
What would happen if Numbers did go to battle and crush Letters? What then? What kind of world would we live in?
How would we communicate if Numbers declared that citizens of the Earth could only use numbers for everything from now on: talking, texting, typing, writing, singing, dreaming..?
Whose side would be on if such a confrontation ever took place?

that would be wierd, but wouldn’t use humans get involved and try to control the universe too. if the numbers won we probably would have to make a new dictionary to explain the new words opps i mean numbers to learn it would be like were babys again only we would have to teach ourselves and there would be no one to copy and learn from only the numbers would know how to talk

@Hanna C.,
Hanna how did you create your avatar. My son is in Mr. Madden’s class and we haven’t been able to figure out how to create your own avatar.
Thank

The blog generates random avatars for the student comments. (But Voki.com is a good place to make one of your own!)

I think the numbers would win because there is over a billion of them and only 26 letters. But you still can make tons of combinations with letters so it would be a close war.

Mr. Madden! I cannot believe we don’t have any school tomorrow. And actually Maddie liked Charlotte Doyle and didn’t like the Westing game. Also can you put the addresses for that make a plant website and the text twist website? If you could that would be awesome. See you Wednesday!
