I would have silently gone in my head ABCDEFGHIJKL and then said “MNOPQRSTUVWXYZ”, but I suppose I could have said “MABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ”, or should I say “MABCDEFGHIJKLOPQRSTUVWXYZ”?
Come to think of it, why do our letters have a standard order, and if they have to, why that one? A better order, off the top of my head, is OUEIAPKGHXBDPTMNLWYVZSFRCQJ
The reason the alphabetical order is like that is because it was passed down all the way from the 14th century BC and potentially before, so a lot of sound changes and mild order changes happened (like Z going from the letter after E to the last letter) and you have the modern English alphabetical order
if you’re having issues with dismissing that voicemail notification you need to wipe data from the “phone services” app, it doesn’t show up normally and you need to enable “show system apps”. don’t disable it, just wipe the data

Because some Phoenician jerk picked it arbitrarily about ten thousand years or so ago and it stuck.
Those dang Arizonans are nothing but trouble, I tells ya…
Thank god they make decent ice tea
Basically. 99 Percent Invisible did a podcast on this very topic: Episode 468 Alphabetical Order
But your version doesn’t match Twinkle Twinkle Little Star as well.
I strongly believe we should teach the alphabet as qwertyu iopa sdfgh jkl zxc vb n and m
Why not Dvorak? I have been told its way more efficient typing, though also completely incomprehensible.
Because what you were told were mostly lies.
It’s not more efficient, but it does feel better on the hands, in my opinion.

Light mode keyboard and dark mode app? Shame on you
The system changes modes at sunrise/sunset but Voyager is always dark mode.

I’m not, but thanks.
Because then it would start with .
Maybe Seedy He Effed G, Hate I JK Ellen Mellow Pee
Look 'm in the eye and say M A C A B. It’s not about repeating the alphabet, it’s about asserting dominance.
