"We believed in our idea - a family park where parents and children could have fun - together." - Walt Disney.

Have you ever noticed the strange behaviour of the letters v and f in English? Many words, such as "deceptive", end in an -ive, but sound as if the ending ought to be spelled -if. Other words, such as "belief" have an f in one form and a v in another, i.e. "believe". "Chief" and "achieve" are related, perhaps surprising, and also demonstrate the swapping of f and v.

Did you know that the letters f and v are formed the same way in the mouth, with the tongue and lips in the same position, but that one of the letters is "voiced" and the other is "unvoiced"?
