It's official, ladies and gentlemen: the English alphabet now has just 23 letters. But Hey! K can be tricky, and Q too! So now we're down to 21! And I've never particularly liked 'U', so let's call it 20! And don't even get me started on 'J'! The countdown continues....
(I am in a belligerent mood....)....

And very happy Mr van B was with it, too...Comment

Hi Megan.Originally posted by Megan View PostToo late PDG, the next letter is now C,
It's okay, I haven't suddenly become dyslexic. It's just that I am opposed to the idea of dropping X, Y and Z from this quiz ("Beethoven: the A - W Quiz").
You know, Barnardo's looks after the displaced and abused children, the RSPCA cares for the sick and injured animals. Well, I offer refuge to the poor, innocent, unloved letters from Philip's (unauthorised) version of the alphabet! For this labour, I receive no government funding, only the affection and respect of the letters themselves. Oh yes, and much fan mail from Scrabble enthusiasts...
From now on, I shall post only Xs, Ys and Zs. Of course, there are not that many anyway, but they deserve their chance to be heard, and once exhausted, I shall retire from this game.
