E for egg isn't even consistent throughout the English-speaking world. That vowel might be quite different in something like South African or Kiwi English compared to other dialects.

It's not even consistent within the US. I've known people who, if they said that sentence over the phone it would sound a lot like "E as in A"

1 0 ReplyTrue but, for example, a younger me working tech support in the early 2000s would not have known what an 'igg' is to even try to spell it.
