The nonsense letters are Ch, Kw, Ks and S. They make up less than 1% of meaningful English but more than 15% of random sekwuences of letters. So they are mainly found in nonsense and that's how they got their name. However, nonsense letters are common in Chinese Pinyin. In Pinyin, Ch, Kw and Ks represent sounds that do not eksist in native English (Kw is used in the borrowed word "kwi"), and S sounds like ds. Nonsense letters are also kwite common in French, mostly found in "che" (meaning "I"), kwu- words (they have the same function as the wh- words in English), suffikses kwue (this one eksist in English, but is much more common in French), -euks (English translation: -ous), and -es (the suffiks of what "you" do). In Spanish, the name Don iote was designed to include two nonsense letters. In Scrabble, the nonsense letter tiles are commonly referred to as "power tiles" and it is important to use them wisely. The most versatile nonsense tile is the Ch tile because it can form two-letter words with any of the five vowels.

All the five nonsense words above contain the letter S which is often doubled.
Chass is the most special of them. If plants listen to too much loud chass music, they would die or at least get sick. This is because plants are sensitive to the nonsense letters in chass.

A sample of nonsense that is abundant in nonsense letters[edit | edit source]

Reducing nonsense letters[edit | edit source]
There is a prefiks that takes different forms in different words. Accurate, addiction, affiliate. In ancient times, there were two words achchective and akwkwuaintance that have the prefix. But, in an Uncyclopedic spelling reform, they were changed to adchective and ackwuaintance to reduce the number of nonsense letters.
Conveying information with nonsense letters[edit | edit source]
The ASCII approach[edit | edit source]
This is based on the kwuaternary (base-4) system. Every letter can be ekspressed as 4 nonsense letters. For eksample, the base-10 ASCII code of the letter 'f' is 102. In base-4 it is 1212.
| 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| J | Q | X | Z |
So 'f' in nonsense letters would be QXQX. Similarly "fuck" would be QXQX QZQQ QXJZ QXXZ.
The Morse Code approach[edit | edit source]
Let J be dot, Q be dash, X be pause between letters. Then "fuck" would be JJQJXJJQXQJQJXQJQ. To make it look better, add some Zs randomly. Then you get something like JJZQJZXJZJQXQZZJQJZXQJZQZ. The pause between words can be encoded as double X.
