D is the fourth letter in the Latin alphabet. Its name in English is spelled dee (pronounced /diː/), plural dees.

History

Egyptian hieroglyph door Proto-Semitic Dal, Daleth Phoenician Daleth Etruscan D Greek Delta Roman D

The minuscule (lower-case) form of D consists of a loop and a tall vertical stroke. It developed by gradual variations on the majuscule (capital) form. In handwriting, it was common to start the arc to the left of the vertical stroke, resulting in a serif at the top of the arc. This serif was extended while the rest of the letter was reduced, resulting in an angled stroke and loop. The angled stroke slowly developed into a vertical stroke.

How do we get vitamin d from the sun?
Q. I don't think the sun is shooting out particles of vitamin d so I guess the vitamin in produced in our skin cells, triggered by the absorption of the UV. Is that right or does the sun actually give off vitamin d?
Asked by califrniateach - Fri Aug 3 02:41:23 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Vitamin D is produced by your skin in response to exposure to ultraviolet radiation from natural sunlight.

How long is D Milk good for after being left out?
Q. I forgot to put d milk back into fridge after giving some to my son, how long is it good for?
Asked by tigodes - Sun Jul 13 09:53:15 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It should not be out for more than an hour. If the milk feels warm, throw it out, since bacteria are already starting to grow. If you do decide to save it, however, use you judgement. Leave it in the fridge for a day or so and do not drink it. If the milk smells sour after a day, throw it out!! But if it smells fine, then it most likely is. But to be safe, I would just toss it. Getting food poisoning is not worth the extra couple of dollars for a new milk!!
