R is the eighteenth letter of the modern Latin alphabet. Its name in English ( / ˈ ɑr /) is pronounced ar, plural ars; its name in Hiberno-English is or ( / ˈ ɔr /).

History

Egyptian hieroglyph tp Proto-Semitic R Phoenician resh Etruscan R Greek Rho Later Etruscan R

The original Semitic letter was probably inspired an Egyptian hieroglyph for "head", pronounced t-p in Egyptian, but it was used for /r/ by Semites because in their language, the word for "head" was Rêš (also the name of the letter). It developed into Greek Ρ ῥῶ (Rhô) and Latin R. It is likely that some Etruscan and Western Greek forms of the letter added the extra stroke to distinguish it from a later form of the letter P.

The minuscule (lower-case) form of r developed through several variations on the capital form. In handwriting it was common not to close the bottom of the loop but continue into the leg, saving an extra pen stroke. The loop-leg stroke shortened into the simple arc used today. Another minuscule, r rotunda (ꝛ), kept the loop-leg stroke but dropped the vertical stroke, although it fell out of use around the 18th century.

When did your parents start letting you watch R rated movies?
Q. They said I couldn't until I turned 17 because they said it was illegal for anybody under 17 to see one. So I have never seen a rated R movie. Am I missing out? When did your parents start letting you?

A. when I started watching whatever I wanted. Now days movies are rated lower. like an R rated movie from a few years ago, would probably be 14A now... Theres not really much difference. More boobs and naked women. Thats about it.
