that can't be it, right? I've seen w too, but i would like to know all of them. They seem to be prepositions or conjunctions(?). It would be useful to know them all, and easy because they are just 1 letter.
Hmm.. so i is used for agreement, a is used for disagreement. (That is what I am implying from your examples).
Dziękuję. (BTW, I have like 5 different keyboards on my machine, and I think Polish (programmers) is the easiest to use. The foreign words are easy to find just by clicking ALT + letter, except the ź which is on the x, but nevertheless easy).
a - and (but, while - used in comparisons of dissimilar features, actions) i - and o - about, at (at 5 o'cock), oh! of, by means of u - at, in, among, ouch w - in, towards, in the direction of z - with, from, of, about, out of, because of, in
There is more, and there are rules how to use them but the many collocations of these, for practical purposes, make them pretty much worthy of being considered as idiomatic.
