    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

      You left out an ‘N.’ I’m gonna have to escort you out of the comment section.

          If drunk people aren’t allowed on Lemmy, we’re collectively gonna have a problem.

      Because some Phoenician jerk picked it arbitrarily about ten thousand years or so ago and it stuck.

        Basically. 99 Percent Invisible did a podcast on this very topic: Episode 468 Alphabetical Order

        Why not Dvorak? I have been told its way more efficient typing, though also completely incomprehensible.

            It’s not more efficient, but it does feel better on the hands, in my opinion.

      It’s a high bar; he might have been poor and making the rich people uncomfortable.
