To continue the fun, over here, on TV 'game shows', for example, 'Wheel of Fortune', when a contestant asks for a letter, they will say 'give me an L', never 'give me a L'. However, they will say, 'give me an A, a B, a C, a D, an E, an F, a G... I don't know the rules, exactly, I just live here.
Meanwhile, I have never mastered the Dutch 'G' sound, and (almost) everywhere I went in Amsterdam, was on a canal, and of course required the letter G.
