THERE'S NO "I" IN TEAM

Benim popo!

Sorry, that was me saying “My Butt!” in Turkish, which happens to be one of several languages in the world for which the letter I can be found in the word team.

In fact there are a plentiful stock of languages for which I can be found in team. These languages include:

Albanian, Catalan, Croatian, French, Galician, Haitian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Irish, Portuguese, Romanian ,Slovak, Spanish, Swahili, Turkish, Vietnamese, Welsh

Additionally, many languages do not use the phonetic alphabet, but when we convert their language to phonetics this list would include:

Armenian, Bulgarian, Chinese, Georgian, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Macedonian, Maltese, Serbian, Thai

The next time you hear your coach or some other fool tell you there’s no I in team, be sure to point out that there is in at least 28 languages.

Now some of you might be thinking this is stupid because the coach will point out we’re in America where we speak English. If you don’t immediately choose to play the discrimination card, you can point out that one of these languages is Vietnamese, and remind the coach that they have an I in team and America couldn’t beat them.
