what is the most unused (if not, seldom used) english alphabet in everyday conversations or communications?if you can give me some statistics, i would much appreciate it (e.g. you only use this once in every month, or there's only of this letter in a 750 page book, etc.).

If the board game SCRABBLE can be taken as any indication of the rarity which letters appear in the English language, I would have to say both Q and Z are the least found. You get the most points for being able to come up with words using them in the game.

Q is the only letter that does not appear in any US state name
People connected to an IRC-network with usermode +q are immune to bans, kicks and akicks.
"Q" Added To Stock Ticker Symbol: When a company is involved in bankruptcy proceedings, the letter "Q" is added to the end of the company's stock ticker symbol. When a company emerges from bankruptcy, in most cases the plan of reorganization will cancel the existing equity stock.
Q is the least used letter in the written English language
Q is never used as the initial letter in the call sign of any radio or television station, being prohibited from such use by the ITU anywhere in the world (as of 2007).

you're a splash perplexed. The Greek alphabet could be transliterated with the Roman alphabet (even regardless of the undeniable fact that that would not constantly supply you the final Greek pronunciation). it relatively is no longer translating, meaning giving the English meaning of Greek words. the 2nd letter of the Greek alphabet, for example, is declared as beta in English. it relatively is the English call for it, no longer what it relatively is declared as in Greek: veeta.

It would be "q". MAYBE "z" in British English, but American English has lots of "-ize" words. X is used a lot, just not at the beginning of words. For example, fix, box, six.
I doubt most English speakers would go a whole day without saying a word that's spelled with the letter "q" though! That would be quite queer, or exquisitely quirky!

the letter x. they had to even add it to zylophone(and yes i spell it like that because x is used too little times. so i took it out) why dont they take it out of the english alphabet
