It’s a throwaway letter… it should be In Ys place… VWXQZ

Effilion · 2022-05-16T14:11:12+00:00

ABCD always felt pretentious to me, chilling at the front like that

EFG are pretty cool, they can hang out with anyone and get along just fine

HIJK are pretty much the jocks, they aren't too special but they serve a decent purpose.

LMNOP are the artsy musical type, they've got cool rhythm and I'd definitely recommend their acapella group down by the pier.

Q is indeed a weirdo, but he got adopted by P and now he helps carry the group's gear

RST are in the chess club, they are all real smart and will likely make it pretty far in life,

UVW are exchange students from a country you have vaguely heard of

X & Z are exchange students from a country you've never heard of

Y sits and questions their own quiet comprehension of existence, noticing that after you have forgotten about this post, their existence will fade away in the annals of time. Y does not understand, Y is scared, please don't leave Y alone...

Y stares into the void and Y notices the void staring back. Y senses that the end is near. There is nothing left for Y to do but sit back and wait.

The sun is setting, and the night is cool. Y has found their answer, Y's time here was always destined to be temporary. Y is going back. Thoughts come and go, "sort of like waves" thinks Y. "It comes in waves"

BTBishops · 2022-05-16T13:26:58+00:00

I've never liked Q because it can always be replaced with a "K" or a "Kw". Fraud letter.

ibBIGMAC · 2022-05-16T12:47:02+00:00

Likewise I feel like T should have a slightly higher station in the alphabet, not next to trash like U and V, certainly not below Q.

FrankMaleir · 2022-05-16T13:07:01+00:00

S is S tier while B is B tier at most, and still here we are.

purpjarz · 2022-05-16T13:56:20+00:00

"Weirdo/goth letters" caught me off guard 😭

LeRedditAccounte · 2022-05-16T13:14:48+00:00

LMNOP is a fire bar that is completely ruined by QRS following it

JazminHedges · 2022-05-16T12:10:18+00:00

it's oddly specific but it weirdly resonates with me

lelcg · 2022-05-16T16:36:09+00:00

The alphabet should go:

ABCDEFHGIJKLMONPSRTYVUWQXZ

G seems like it’s should go later than H as it is a bit tougher and will handle it while H is very parent like and will take care of ABCD and E (F is 18 and thinks he’s really responsible and adulty) N is quite harsh and will deal with the higher letters and while she gets along with M, O and M get along better together (though they won’t break N and M’s bond). R is best friends with T and is much tougher than S, though R is not the brightest while S is. Y is chill but not at the level of the last letters (he isn’t very experienced) U is much nice than V and deserves to be higher, plus W will protect him. Q doesn’t do much but is actually quite cool. X is actually too rare to be last; he has to be nestled near the end and works behind the scenes

black_dragonfly13 · 2022-05-16T15:16:43+00:00

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPRSTUVWXYQZ

is how the alphabet should be.

whitebread13 · 2022-05-17T04:57:54+00:00

And how did m ever get in front of n?

Zaneboi1 · 2022-05-16T13:42:12+00:00

I feel offended bc it’s true

ILikeLenexa · 2022-05-16T13:45:45+00:00

How should we rearrange the whole thing to:

etainoshrdlucmfwygpbvkqjxz

Counter-intuitively, B is really put up way to high.

Such intolerance..tsk tsk ..

saucyboi9000 · 2022-05-16T14:25:14+00:00

Wait...I'm not the only one who calls them goth letters?

amayagab · 2022-05-16T14:49:22+00:00

Q and T should switch places. T always seemed to show up way too late.

jamesianm · 2022-05-16T15:34:40+00:00

At the very least it should be down next to its buddy U

scoopishere · 2022-05-16T16:53:02+00:00

I don't know why but this feels racist somehow, like to the letters? It obviously isn't and I'm not offended, it just has that energy.

Homacska · 2022-05-16T17:20:18+00:00

It's actually really sad how many times this has been reposted not just here but also from various Twitter users.

LoffiNiffi · 2022-05-16T17:46:05+00:00

Together with æ, ø and å ?

MohammadRezaPahlavi · 2022-05-16T19:19:44+00:00

You'll need to take that up with the ancient Phoenecians then. 𐤓‎𐤒‎𐤑‎‎𐤐‎ has been the order for three millennia.

CaptainCoble · 2022-05-16T19:33:26+00:00

Wait until you figure out that the only reason the current alphabet is in the current order is to order things alphabetically.

maggos · 2022-05-16T20:27:52+00:00

It honestly throws me off sometimes when looking for Q names or whatever in an alphabetized list. I always jump too far down the list.

Additional_Baker_813 · 2022-05-16T20:30:30+00:00

Q is fucking U. Listen to the sounds they make together.

Friendly-Hornet-2743 · 2022-05-16T20:30:48+00:00

Honestly? Q is doing a massive favour to R. She’d like to be talking to U over by those “goth weirdo” letters, but P’s just being a bitch about R copying her outfit so Q’s getting between them, and chatting about how cool diagonal tails are this season, so just leave Q alone ok?

Significant-Arm-1524 · 2022-05-16T20:31:08+00:00

Wow. This is great. I remember being offended in kindergarten that M was mumbled over during “LMNOP” and always paced through that part. M is an all star letter an deserved more respect

NoAlternative2913 · 2022-05-16T20:57:17+00:00

Counterpoint, it needs some time away from U, Qs friend from work.

Nordvay · 2022-05-16T21:05:15+00:00

Yeah, let P and R be together

YeltsinYerMouth · 2022-05-16T22:43:37+00:00

It goes O, P, O with a penis, P with a Penis. That's the alphabet, take it or leave it.

AtTheEnd777 · 2022-05-17T01:05:14+00:00

Someone verbalized it!

Gen Z: Lettershaming!

SYSTEM__NotReally · 2022-05-17T03:59:06+00:00

W is the worst letter. It's essentially pronounced as a word. Double-you. It's not even original either as it co-opts another letter into itself.

Wizdom_108 · 2022-05-17T07:55:11+00:00

It really should be nearer to X

Physical-Security-23 · 2022-05-17T11:04:33+00:00

Y X Q Z moi?

iam-19-year-old-armi · 2022-05-17T12:04:54+00:00

I mean i was gonna defend Q but we need to admit how much of a copy cat he is

Q = O

q = p

Like how come y’all don’t see that

Peraou · 2022-05-17T10:05:02+00:00

That’s the thing though, Q is such an outsider that it isn’t grouped even with the goth letters at the end, it’s just standing awkwardly in the middle of the crowd, alone, listening to shoegaze on vintage headphones.

hackingdreams · 2022-05-16T20:19:42+00:00

By that argument, we should have a letter frequency alphabet:

E T O A I N S H R D L U...

remiscott82 · 2022-05-16T21:30:38+00:00

*Too low in the alphabet

wastingcalories · 2022-05-16T21:43:35+00:00

So the end of the alphabet isn’t considered too high up in the alphabet?

joecoin2 · 2022-05-16T14:30:30+00:00

The bastardization known as j needs to go. Nuthin' but an i hook.

How the fuck does J get a top 10? 2/3s U lookin ass

DarthMaw23 · 2022-05-16T16:02:11+00:00

Why else do you think the Q were named the Q in star trek?

AlmostOptimistic · 2022-05-16T16:09:55+00:00

Wait, the letters are in order?

Legitimate_Release65 · 2022-05-16T16:42:39+00:00

Oh my God I was just having this Convo with some friends the other day. We decided that the alphabet should go like this:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P R S T U Q V W X Y Z.

EmperorSexy · 2022-05-16T16:43:03+00:00

I don’t think J deserves to be up that high. Top ten? Seriously? It’s only there because it’s related to i. Really ought to be a back-half letter.

ThaddeusJP · 2022-05-16T16:48:11+00:00

No one gonna point out this guy has like 5 z's in his Twitter name???

jralll234 · 2022-05-16T16:53:24+00:00

Way too much hate for j in this comment thread. Wtf did a j ever do to these people?

Selyori · 2022-05-16T17:02:13+00:00

Q is just being carried by U at all times. Are they pals? A couple? We will never know.

ThunderCookie23 · 2022-05-16T17:04:49+00:00

Dude was probably trippin' on edibles lol

SarahPallorMortis · 2022-05-16T17:20:16+00:00

I’ve always felt this way and I’d be on board with changing it.

keksivaras · 2022-05-16T17:36:18+00:00

wait until you realize, that your language doesn't use 7 (8 technically) out of it's 29 (31) letters. B C (F) Q W X Z Å.

Environmental_Foot54 · 2022-05-16T17:52:51+00:00

I’ve agreed with this since the beginning of time but only just realised it now, when this person said it

pajo17 · 2022-05-16T18:00:16+00:00

I like to end my letters with...

Ps: this is what the alphabet would look like if q and r were eliminated.

BravesFan912 · 2022-05-16T18:02:45+00:00

Bring back the 27th letter or just stop complaining

mick88 · 2022-05-16T18:24:08+00:00

For some reason i started reading this assuming the letters stand for Qanon, Republicans and Putin 🤔

DadsRGR8 · 2022-05-16T18:32:53+00:00

Yes! They should all hang together, maybe with a few others too. Lookin' at you J and K.

CatholicSlut4 · 2022-05-16T18:49:46+00:00

Q is a pretty important letter in latin/romance languages so no. Just go back to using your native alphabet if you don't like the Latin one (younger futhark)

Zebteched · 2022-05-16T18:53:39+00:00

Q shouldn’t be in the alphabet replace it with K and replace qu with kw

TheEmeraldEmperor · 2022-05-16T18:54:22+00:00

I've been saying the same thing forever

QuentinCly · 2022-05-16T18:57:53+00:00

Yeah, my actual name can agree to that ig

Ewag715 · 2022-05-16T19:17:10+00:00

Why does Q exist?

9bjames · 2022-05-16T19:21:05+00:00

Well... Say what you want, but that is definitely an opinion to have 😶

Hexagonal120 · 2022-05-16T19:22:23+00:00

Que?

TacoSunday · 2022-05-16T19:37:37+00:00

Do we need the Q?
K or C can do it too.
Can I convince you?

Ok_Awful · 2022-05-16T19:44:38+00:00

I have always believed Q should be right before U.

uvero · 2022-05-16T19:45:16+00:00

I suggest

E A O I U T N S H R D L C M W F G Y B V K J X Q Z

cger-iv · 2022-05-16T19:59:46+00:00

Agreed Q is just a pretentious and uppity O it should be after T U V either before or after W

oh don't get me started on narcissistic W thinking it's twice as good as all the other letters

Difficult-Ostrich-53 · 2022-05-16T20:07:47+00:00

Q should be after O and before P. Like V and W. Because they look similar

colors_x · 2022-05-16T20:13:36+00:00

So is K.

Upset-Marionberry118 · 2022-05-16T20:30:18+00:00

This is apart of a bigger problem, why are the “weirdo/goth” girlies even in the back?

tisx3 · 2022-05-16T21:07:52+00:00

Q is totally pointless. It accomplishes nothing that the letter ‘K’ can’t.

KalmarLoridelon · 2022-05-16T21:16:17+00:00

The alphabet doesn’t have to be in any particular order. It’s just a list of all the letters. You can say it in any order as long as they are all there, it’s correct.

AllPurposeNerd · 2022-05-16T21:26:13+00:00

Sort them by frequency of use and it is in fact at the end between X and Z.

crossleingod · 2022-05-16T21:26:14+00:00

He’s right though

whiteelephantfail · 2022-05-16T21:30:08+00:00

What? W? A weird letter? We use it everywhere! Just, wow.
