Hey fellow impactful ninja ?

You may have noticed that Impactful Ninja is all about providing helpful information to make a positive impact on the world and society. And that we love to link back to where we found all the information for each of our posts.

  • Most of these links are informational-based for you to check out their primary sources with one click.

  • But some of these links are so-called "affiliate links" to products that we recommend.

Why do we add these product links?

First and foremost, because we believe that they add value to you. For example, when we wrote a post about the environmental impact of long showers, we came across an EPA recommendation to use WaterSense showerheads. So we linked to where you can find them. Or, for many of our posts, we also link to our favorite books on that topic so that you can get a much more holistic overview than one single blog post could provide.

And when there is an affiliate program for these products, we sign up for it. For example, as Amazon Associates, we earn from qualifying purchases.

What do these affiliate links mean for you?
  1. First, and most importantly, we still only recommend products that we believe add value for you.

  2. When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission - but at no additional costs to you.

  3. And when you buy something through a link that is not an affiliate link, we won’t receive any commission but we’ll still be happy to have helped you.

What do these affiliate links mean for us?
  1. When we find products that we believe add value to you and the seller has an affiliate program, we sign up for it.

  2. When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission (at no extra costs to you).

  3. And at this point in time, all money is reinvested in sharing the most helpful content with you. This includes all operating costs for running this site and the content creation itself.

What does this mean for me personally?

You may have noticed by the way Impactful Ninja is operated that money is not the driving factor behind it. It is a passion project of mine and I love to share helpful information with you to make a positive impact on the world and society. However, it's a project in that I invest a lot of time and also quite some money.

Eventually, my dream is to one day turn this passion project into my full-time job and provide even more helpful information. But that's still a long time to go.

Stay impactful,

A Brief History of the Letter F

The story of the letter F has a rich and compelling history, beginning with ancient civilizations and carrying forward into the present day.

The roots of F can be traced to the Semitic letter “waw,” which initially represented a sound akin to /w/ and later also to /v/.

The Phoenicians inherited this symbol and its phonetic values, simplifying it into a symbol that looked like a vertical line with two horizontal lines crossing it—a symbol known as “vau.”

The Greeks adopted this letter into their alphabet, transforming it into the letter “digamma.” The name “digamma” is due to its visual similarity to two gammas (the Greek ‘G’) placed one on top of the other. Despite its visual resemblance to modern F, digamma was used to represent the /w/ sound, like its Phoenician predecessor.

However, over time, as the Greek language evolved, the /w/ sound became obsolete and digamma was gradually dropped from the Greek alphabet. Nonetheless, the Etruscans, an ancient civilization in Italy, had already borrowed the digamma from the early Greek alphabet, using it to represent /v/ and /f/ sounds. They passed it onto the Romans, who maintained these sound values and named it “F.”

In the Roman alphabet, which would evolve into our modern Latin alphabet, F generally represented the /f/ sound, as in “fox” or “family.” However, its pronunciation could change when followed by certain other letters, as in “of” or “different.”

Today, F is the sixth letter in the English alphabet. It typically represents the /f/ sound, but can also be silent, as in “fifth.”

In modern symbolic usage, F carries various meanings. In music, F denotes a specific note in the scale. In physics and chemistry, F is the symbol for the element fluorine. In the digital world, ‘F’ is often used as an internet meme to show respect or pay one’s “respects.”

From its ancient beginnings as a symbol for a completely different sound to its role in the modern English language, the letter F offers a fascinating glimpse into the dynamic evolution of alphabetic writing systems.
