M is the thirteenth letter of the basic modern Latin alphabet. Its name in English (pronounced /ˈɛm/) is spelled em.

History

The letter M derives its shape m as in maggaoy from the Phoenician Mem, via the Greek Mu (Μ, μ). Semitic Mem probably originally pictured water. It is known that Semitic people working in Egypt c. 2000 BC borrowed a hieroglyph for "water" that was first used for an alveolar nasal (/n/, because of the Egyptian word for water, "n-t". This same symbol became used for M in Semitic, because their word for water began with that sound.

Egyptian hieroglyph "N" Proto-Semitic M Phoenician mem Etruscan M Greek mu Roman M

The letter M represents the bilabial consonant sound, IPA: [m], in Classical languages as well as the modern languages. The Oxford English Dictionary (first edition) says that 'm' is sometimes a vowel in words like spasm and in the suffix -ism. In modern terminology, this would be described as a syllabic consonant — IPA [m̩].

A. if you want to dance, go for it :) you should STRETCH, strengthen your ankles, etc. when you do combinations in class, pay close attention to all the little details, like turn out in tondus, bend ankles in plies, use inner thigh muscles in developes.. for pointe, you have to really prove that you are ready.. i mean its easier to correct a "deadly habit" (we all have them, such as not plie-ing or sitting in the heals) before going on pointe.. so just work, work, work :)

I'm planning on majoring in accounting and questioning which graduate degree to obtain?
Q. I'm planning on majoring in accounting, or possibly double majoring in accounting and finance. My ultimate goal is to become the CFO of a corporation. Would a double major really be beneficial to my resume? Also, after my undergraduate studies, should I obtain a Masters in accounting, or an MBA? Any information will help. Thank you.

A. In my opinion, an accounting M.A. serves two main purposes: (1) it helps you pass the CPA exam and (2) in some states, it substitutes for the experience requirement to receive the CPA license. In other words, I've never heard a great argument for getting one.* I have yet to see a job posting that requires an M.A. You learn the principles in undergrad, so it SEEMS like most of the knowledge acquired in a master's program would be obsolete after a few years... I don't see an MBA as being very useful, either (it doesn't teach you how to DO anything). A master's in taxation is really useful if you want to go into tax, but it doesn't seem like that's part of your career goal. A second major in finance is not the way that I'd go; a second… [cont.]

I'm confused on scales. Do you start and end on the same note, or go through every note?
Q. I'm trying out for an orchesta. I understand what a scale is, but if i had to play a c scale for someone, how would i do so?
Asked by I love Bacon! - Fri Jun 6 15:21:27 2008 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Simple answer: Yes. A scale is a stepwise arrangement of ALL the notes. If you start on ANY note of the scale as we know it in western music: A-B-C-D-E-F-G { seven notes and the REPEAT of the first note will make the 8th note a full 8ve.scale. The last (8th note) could be an octave higher or lower with the other notes in-between the high and low note. If you are ask to play a scale you must play all the 7 notes + the REPEAT of the first note for a total of 8 notes played . If you are ask to sound an octave you just play the 1st Note and REPEAT that note 8 notes higher or lower. I hope this help you in your try-out. Good Luck
