Now several musicians have made this world? a much more enjoyable place just bysimply doing what they know how to do best. Among all the best my vote goes to Linkin story

The letter G was introduced in the Old Latin period as a variant of ‹c› to distinguish voiced /ɡ/ from voiceless /k/. The recorded originator of ‹g› is freedman Spurius Carvilius Ruga, the first Roman to open a fee-paying school, who taught around 230 BC. At this time ‹k› had fallen out of favor, and‹c›, which had formerly represented both /ɡ/ and /k/ before open vowels, had come to express /k/ in all environments. It is the seventh letter in the modern alphabet.
Ruga's positioning of ‹g› shows that alphabetic order, related to the letters' values as Greek numerals, was a concern even in the 3rd century BC. Sampson (1985) suggests that: "Evidently the order of the alphabet was felt to be such aconcrete thing that a new letter could be added in the middle only if a 'space' was created by the dropping of an old letter."[2] According to some records, the original seventh letter, ‹z›, had been purged from the Latin alphabet somewhat earlier in the 3rd century BC by the Roman censor Appius Claudius, who found it distasteful and foreign.[3]
Eventually, both velar consonants /k/ and /ɡ/developed palatalized allophones before front vowels; consequently in today's Romance languages, ‹c› and ‹g› have different sound values depending on context. Because of French influence, English orthography shares this feature.
Typographic forms

Typographic variants include a double-story and single-story g.
The modern lower case ‹g› has two typographic variants: the single-story (sometimesopentail) ‹› and the double-story (sometimes looptail) ‹›. The single-story version derives from the majuscule (upper-case) form by raising the serif that distinguishes it from ‹c› to the top of the loop, thus closing the loop, and extending the vertical stroke downward and to the left. The double-story form developed similarly, except that some ornate forms then extended the tail back to the right,and to the left again, forming a closed bowl or loop. The initial extension to the right was absorbed into the upper closed bowl. The double-story version became popular when printing switched to "Roman type" because the tail was effectively shorter, making it possible to put more lines on a page. In the double-story version, a small stroke in the upper-right, often terminating in an orb shape, iscalled an "ear".
Generally, the two are complementary, but occasionally the difference has been exploited to provide contrast. The 1949 Principles of the International Phonetic Association recommends using for advanced voiced velar plosives (denoted by Latin small letter script G) and for regular ones where the two are contrasted,[citation needed] but this suggestion was never accepted byphoneticians in general,[citation needed] and today ‹› is the symbol used in the International Phonetic Alphabet, with ‹› acknowledged as an acceptable variant, and is more often used in printed materials.[citation needed]
Usage

In English, the letter represents either a voiced postalveolar affricate /dʒ/ ("soft G"), as in giant, ginger, and geology; or a voiced velar plosive /ɡ/ ("hard G"), as ingoose, gargoyle, and game. In some words of French origin, the "soft G" is pronounced as a fricative (/ʒ/), as in rouge, beige, and genre. Generally, ‹g› is soft before ‹e›, ‹i›, and ‹y› in words of Romance origin, and hard otherwise; there are many English words of non-Romance origin where ‹g› is hard regardless of position (e.g. get), and three (gaol, margarine, algae) in which it is soft...
