Very interesting. I have seen very different results elsewhere - For the most common first letter I have S, then C, A/P (tie). I wonder if the difference is in the number of words vs the overall frequency of usage?

Thanks for sharing!

12.5% means every 1 in 8 letters is an 'e', I thought that seemed too much, but then I counted the number in this post...

For the most common first letter I have S

That's a suprise- but 'e' doesn't suprise me at all- look how many come with Scrabble...

In domains we are looking mainly for nouns, then verbs. In LLL domains the first letter of the words used in business are what count. When I first got into this I went to acronymfinder(dot)com. According to their lists the most common acronyms are those with "c" and "s". "t" and "e" are down the list.

I've just re-read your post and realised when you said "...I have..." you meant in domains you actually own, whereas I thought you meant in results you have for the same type of survey.

My domains have fair more Os than Es
