I think 7 should come before 3.
And C should be replaced with CH.
No French letters though.
OK, simmer down.
guizot, stringing people along for fun is what we call trolling, so unless you want to be dinged for that, I advise you come clean and participate in good faith and not waste people’s time.
A B C D GOLDFISH
L M N O GOLDFISH
O S A R!
Why did A get to be first?
Weird: my fiancée thinks the same thing, and only mentioned it to me last week. He reasoning was that G is a heavier letter than H so should be lower down the order. Yup.
I know that the OP isn’t my fiancée, so that makes two people that think H is in the wrong place.
M R Ducks.
– M R not!
O S A R, C M E D B D Wangs?
– L I B, M R Ducks!
Holy shit, I haven’t heard or thought of this in about 20 years. Crazy.
because 7 8 9.
Because if it did, then “77” would mean you’re a Nazi.
How come F doesn’t come before b? same question.
I have my reasons.
Sly look of mystery and intrigue

Does he have synesthesia? That sounds a little like it. People will think that letters have weights and such, mixing together various senses like vision and perception of weights.
My reasoning is that if alphabetic order is completely arbitrary (and I couldn’t tell if it was), then it’s sometimes a good idea to just recognize that, as it would be with a lot of other things. So it’s party a rhetorical question, more than anything. (And I’m not stringing anyone along–I just have work to do IRL, so I can’t post a lot.)
Language is an agreed-upon system of communications. Whether or not it is arbitrary is besides the point.
Not sure about the H & J story, but I do know that Q is the bastard child of C + Y, and with pirates laughing to its right and bodily fluids to its left, no wonder it is so neurotic that it always must cling to U.
Oh please no, we just got rid of that one as a separate letter in Spanish dictionaries!
When are you guys getting rid of the n with the squiggly line? Maybe make a deal with the Germans tossing the umlauts.
Ah ha! Yes, it IS because of that song!
No, just that Jesus H. Christ should come first.
What in the world is this supposed to mean?
