Hi, Alex,

LaTeX is a cool tool but according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L:

*L*, or*l*, is the twelfthletter 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_(alphabet)>of theLatin alphabet 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_alphabet>, used in themodern 
English alphabet <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_alphabet>, the 
alphabets of other western European languages and others worldwide. Its 
name in English is/el/ 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_alphabet#Letter_names>(pronounced/ˈɛl/ 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/English>/EL/ 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Pronunciation_respelling_key>), 
plural/els/.

Reference:

"L"/Oxford English Dictionary,/2nd edition (1989)/Merriam-Webster's 
Third New International Dictionary of the English Language, 
Unabridged./(1993)

I have /Oxford English Dictionary/, 2nd edition (1989) and confirm that 
it mentions "/el/" but not "/ell/".
