2. of, pertaining to, or consisting of letters.

The wife said 12-14 inches in Hershey/Harrisburg.
Then, they continue to bring that racist idiot from Columbia U on Red Eye and I just can't stomach him continually blaming whitey for everything he perceives as any slight to anyone black -all the while bashing everyone who is NOT black. He is a hate crime.
