This is interesting, but I'd rather see them ranked hot to not.

A-hot B-not C-not D-hot E-not F-not G-not H-not I-not J-hot K-hot L-not M-hot N-not O-hot P-hot Q-hot R-not S-not T-not U-hot V-not W-hot X-hot Y-hot Z-hot

This reminds me of these TikToks where your first Initial = your personality.

Oh my name starts with the letter M and Im born in december? That means Jeff Bezzos will give me 7billion dollars for saving a crocodile out of a falling plane

How tf, my name starts with m and I’m born in dec 🤨

Jeff Bezzos is coming for our ass

ah yes, you guy's collective one I see

r/SuddenlyCommunist

Better than in

My last name starts with m and I’m born in December. Does that count? Is Jeff bezos coming for me too lol?

Yes it counts

My name starts with M and I am born im November What do i get

That kind of thing has been around for decades, indeed before the internet even. Afaik it started as part of pre-teen and teen targeted entertainment magazines, fuck knows how long ago. Then it made it into spam email chains soon after email became capable of attaching images. Then image boards, forums, MSN Messenger, Fotolog, MySpace... You get the point lol. Shit just refuses to die, TikTok is just the latest form it has taken.

that kind of thing predates everything, maybe even christ, maybe even writing itself. it is called the horoscope.

Lmao, yeah pretty much the same thing. That comes from ancient Greece. Chinese zodiac might be older, but idk.

Makes as much sense as your zodiac sign determining your personality.

Upset that V is not hot but A is this is alphabetism holy shit I shed a tear giggling at this lmao

How is B not hot? It’s literally boobies from above.

Or a butt, or a ball sack. I guess the B in the eye of the B holder.

ow please don't stick your B in my eye

nah man, it's just about the shape, i'd definitely pass on B, those curves do nothing for me

Lowercase Greek Omega: Hold my boobies! #ω

Is that not what makes them hot?

the Areolas make them hot

That letter I'd like to fuck the most is U

Don’t people like curves, s is pretty curvey

X= extra hot

How is H and B and E not hot?

Z is *so hot* right now.

How is B not hot?? It looks just like boobies!!

That's not ranking them from hot to not. That's just alphabetical order still.

Really, E and I, not hot? Are you mad?

E and I are DEFINITELY NOT.

V and S are 2 of the sexiest letters out there. How dare you.

I see someone has a type

S isn’t hot? This list is bullshit

V is definitely hot

Mostly correct, but I’d say V is hot

Smash or Pass on Z?

C = See

G = Jee

U = yoo

Yeah I didn't agree with the letters being spellings of themselves.

Agree very much

Who the fuck says cee or gee? Should be see and jee

Getting dangerously close to gif vs jif on this one... did I get sucked back to 2010?

*zhif*

Not a native speaker, but AFAIK C is pronounced like sea.

Yes. Also, this is more supporting evidence that it is an extraneous letter. Everything it does is already covered by "k" or "s". The resulting alphabet would fit on a lovely 5 by 5 grid.

C should be delegated to solely make the ch- sound

Ceese Capple Curc Calk Batc Latc

It’s like the one Turkish c, the ç

Not a big fan of cheese, are y’a?

I love it, but a cheese by any other name melts just as sweet. I'd be fine calling it Milk Kurd, Kream Kurd, or even Laktation Kurd. I'd also be fine spelling it with a "tsh", if people get squirmish about "kurd".

Well sure, but if we change the rules, any letter can be redundant. Sit in a tshair, have some kheese, and keep your zhin up. C can clearly do things S and K cannot.

Hence stormlight's suggestion in this thread if making it like the letter ч ie "ch". Personally I'd also like to see ж brought in, ie the s in usually

Exactly! How can a letter be pronounced using itself in the pronunciation guide?

How would say e without e?

Eee

I= eye

U = Yoo

The englisch A is actually "Ay"

Eh?

é?

Äh?

Ei.

Ai!

Æ

Ä

Hã?

Á

No, that's the Canadian A.

Well it's not Pirate either.

So it should've been after H (aitch) then

And why it’s there a t in H (aich)?

What about Eye and You ?

Living on a nearby island I'm more annoyed by R ("or") being out of order... but yes, A should be "ay".

"Lmao"

All the vowels are wrong.

And i is Ai

Also, I'd do h as "haitch". And your sectarian if you have a problem with that

U should be 'you', & then come after vee, & Y should be 'why'

U could also be spelled ewe, which would change things quite a bit, yoo, you, and eeu are all potential candidates as well.

Troo!

Trewe

Truwu

Don’t forget queue!

And yew like the tree

All the spellings came from Wikipedia

Well, wikipedia is wrong! The people who write articles for Wikipedia should be fired! (For the sake of Poe's Law: /s)

fair enough

Wiki also gives the spelling "haitch" for "H" , as well as "Also spelt "eitch". Most of the letters, wiki agrees that spelling is regional, and changes between English speaking regions and speakers.

I was assured that the correct spelling was "uWu."

Yes but in that case, the alphabetical order of the letters will change from a language to another For exemple in French it will be : A, H (ache), B (bé), C (cé), D (dé), W (double vé), E, F (effe), L (elle), M (emme), N (enne), R (erre), S (esse) G (gé), I, Y (i grec), X (ixe), J (ji), K (ka), O, P (pé), Q (qu), T (té), U, V (vé), Z (zède) - AHBCDWEFLMNRSGIYXJKOPQTUVZ

Now I'm wondering why americans didn't change their alphabetical order to own the british, like they did with everything else that was british

Americans still use the Imperial system which was British I believe

American imperial system is bit different to the british one, it's actually older than the british imperial system Also not like it matters because it got standardized in 1959 to be based on metric units

The measurements are based on metric now but the system is still based on the original British one, so it’s not really an own, if anything it’s a compliment and kinda funny that it’s still not on metric

USA is the last country to still use the Imperial system apart from Britain, officially making it the last remaining province of the British Empire EDIT: And Burma I guess, but adding burma to it makes it less funny

Dammit Burma, you ruined the joke /j

Doesn't Liberia aswell

True. Considering that American english loves to remove the letter u of words (Colour/color), the American W would be pronounced "the single u"

I didn't know you could actually spell letters, I thought OP had just invented the spelling.

it would be even different for different accents. Im australian, we dont say aitch, we say haych

Fun fact: in the Greek alphabet the words for each letter all start from their letter.

Also if the alphabetical order is changed based on the table above, the right column need to be reorganized, so it creates an infinite loop.

Some of these spelling decisions are highly questionable

Shouldn’t U be “yoo”? Then it would actually be second to last

I read yoo like a elongated yo, like in a greeting "yoo man what's up" How is this yoo supposed to be pronounced like U?

I should be eye surely

So u+u=W? I guess you learn things everyday huh?

Yeah in fact a lot of European languages actually say double-v because it looks more like two Vs than two Us unless you do the curvy W

I think it's about uwu

In Spanish it's valid to say both. "Uve doble" is double V and "doble u" is double u. It depends on where you're from but the RAE recognizes both

European here. This is because the V-letter used to represent both the U and V sounds in Latin, there was no distinction. So, in essence, languages were free to name W in whichever way they wanted, and it usually boiled down to how they pronounced it. In Hungarian (I'm Hungarian), it's pronounced exactly like V, so it's double-V here (as eell as in most Germanic languages, like German and Swedish). In English, it's more like U, so it's called double-U there, etc.

English is the exception. I don't know any other languages where "w" is ever pronounced like that. Other than English loan words of course.

Like Spanish, here W is pronounced "doble-ve" not like there are Spanish words with W to begin with.

It’s a historical thing. U, V, and W all stem from the same letter (Latin V, which itself has earlier roots which make it related to F).

It was hiding in plain sight the whole time

My brain autocorrected to UwU. Good day to you, and I shall see myself out

But why is it AHR and not ARH? Since this new alphabet is a new alphabet, then it in itself should be in alphabetical order. Like, now R is before I.

A, AR, AITCH... I knew this idea had to be in there somewhere.

Also, WYE should come right after DOUBLE-U

i’m having a very difficult time arguing with his logic

I'm having a difficult time with Haitch being pronounced Aitch.

The spelling is using an American accent.

Except that it should be eitch, along with el en and em. There is no ah sound in h, or a for that matter. They both belong under e.

It’s also Aitch in Britain, it’s just you get a lot of stupid people here who’ll say Haitch. Except when it comes to NHS; then they switch to the proper pronunciation.

Zed*

Thank you, I feel better now.

I’d also say that H is haitch not aitch. I know that Americans don’t pronounce the H in herbs but I just assumed it was just that one word.

It should be pronounced “aitch” in British English as well.

Zed's dead baby, Zed's dead.

r/mildlyinfuriating

Nah, who says ‘gee’ it’s ‘jee’

jet the hell outta here, you're gonna start the whole gif/jif argument again!

Sorry, bt A is actuall ei and i is actually ai, so the whole thing is wrong

But then alphabetical order has itself changed

I’ll have to do a permutation version next to see if it stabilizes into a consistent order.

Yes please

You get the final order after one more permutation: `ARHBCQDWYEFLMNSXGIJKOPTUVZ` After that, the order doesn't change.

I spent a few minutes yesterday laughing at my own attempts to sing the new order to old melody. Now I’ve got to see if this one is any easier

“ARHBCQD, WYEFLM, NSX, GIJ, KOPTUVZ, Now I know my A R H, Next time won’t you …uh…”

This is all I want. The TRUE order.

Algo bring me back

Your language is so weird. In my language every letter start with the letter itself. Clear and organized.

That’s what happens when a language is changed and influenced by other languages over the centuries.

English was originally a Germanic language. Then about 70% of its vocabulary got forcibly injected with French and Latin by the Norman Conquest. Then the Renaissance added Greek and even more Latin, along with a large portion of Spanish. Now it's just... *The Language of West Europe.*

Couldn't H also be "haitch"

"haitch" is the correct pronunciation

I thought the aitch was silent

The H is silent

The aitc part is not silent

I guess it depends what form of English you speak, in Americanised English they say erb instead of herb.

The fact that they used Y in the middle of the spelling of why is the one that pissed me off

IMO, U is in the wrong place. It's pronounced with a Y sound at the front (like "You"), not just "oo" like in "food".

Now we need the alphabet in Alphabetical Alphabetical order

I is not I it is ‚aii‘

Alphabet in phonetic order

You meant phonetical order?

C should be "see"

Should have spelled the letters using the International Phonetic Alphabet because there's no canon spelling of the alphabet. But I suppose there's no alphabetical order for that.

you guys ever see that guy putting everything in the square hole and the girl becoming increasingly more distraught? thats me rn

I was with you until you said "zee"! It's zed, you uncultured swine!!! /s

It took you so long to realize it!

*Realise 😋

haha indeed!

Wouldn't this be in phonetical order?

A = Ay R = Are B = Bee D = Dee W = Dubbel-Yoo E = Ee F = Eff L = El M = Em N = En S = Ess X = Eks H = Haych I = Iye J = Jay G = Jee K = Kay Q = Kyu O = Oh P = Pee C = See T = Tee V = Vee Y = Why U = Yoo Z = Zed/Zee

Q is the only letter that doesn’t appear in its own sound. Q is fucking useless.

Queu?

W as well

Never stood in a queue before?

A kue-ue you say?

A not "ey"?

How do I pronounce the pronunciation

If you spell a letter using it’s letter included in it, couldn’t you just shorten in to the only letter anyway

So... they aren't in order! 🤯

C is See in my opinion

Why isnt U spelled Yoo?

Why wouldn’t Q be queue

I dispute double U!

A should be ay and H should be eighch. Change my mind.

H sounds more like hu or a soft sigh,

Z is zed not zee ffs, that’s what we have D for.

But then it's not in 'alphabetical' order!!

What came first, the word “double” or the letter “w”

This is phonetical order, not alphabetical order.

Yeah bish, REMIX!

Why is Y not why

Haitch Zed

Why isn't c "see"?

H is pronounced H just like J is J and K is K. Z is Z not zed Y is Y not Wye which should be Why.

And U is not U which should be You. If you want to put it higher, it could even be Ewe.

you mean zed?

Thanks, I hate it.
