Hi!
I’m learning English and trying to read Ernest Hemingway
I broke my brain with the phrase “If a four-letter man marries a five-letter woman, he was thinking, what number of letters would their children be?”
Could you help me understand what this means?😳

I also didn’t understand this, read the story probably 8 times. I thought it had to do with high society, maybe a term they use, but online search says it’s four letters of Varsity Sports in College. So if you make the Varsity Basketball team you get one Letter on your jacket. Baseball another.
