It has become apparent [link] that the Latin alphabet is in dire need of re-ordering. The current ordering (A, B, C,...Z) has no merit over other arbitrary orderings (e.g., Q, W, E,...M), aside from being the marginally rhyming lyrics to a well-known song.
The only ordering that is not arbitrary or whimsical is a meaningful one.-- the porpoise, Mar 05 2014 Change Alphabet Order Change_20Alphabet_20OrderA finger-centric suggestion [the porpoise, Mar 05 2014] There are just over 400 million billion billion possible pangrams. At least one of them ought to make more sense than that one.-- MaxwellBuchanan, Mar 05 2014 Yeah but 99.44% of those have repeated letters. This one is "perfect".-- the porpoise, Mar 05 2014 No no, there are 400 million billion billion possible pangrams containing each letter only once.
Several of them are Greek dentists.-- MaxwellBuchanan, Mar 05 2014 Oh, yes, indeed (26!). The Wikipedia page on pangrams looked Welsh.-- the porpoise, Mar 05 2014 Welsh doesn't count - it's not really a language. Hidden microphones have revealed that the Welsh actually speak English when they think they're alone, and just make up random combinations of consonants and phlegm when they're being overheard.-- MaxwellBuchanan, Mar 05 2014 // Welsh doesn't count - it's not really a language. //
"Name ?" "MaxwellBuchanan" "Occupation ?" "Gentleman" "Specialised subject ?" "The bleedin' obvious"-- 8th of 7, Mar 05 2014 Still wondering who bothered to work out that "spoonfeed" is the longest word in English in reverse alphabetical order...-- not_morrison_rm, Mar 08 2014 random, halfbakery
