Just a reminder

There is no reason why letters are arranged in any particular order. A to Z is an artificial creation.

Sometimes I just want to take the alphabet too seriously.

Actually, they are arranged (somewhat) in order of frequency.

A, B, C, D, and E are among the most common letters in the language--E being the most common.
V, W, X, Y, and Z are much less frequent.

There are plenty of exceptions, like S and T--despite being common--are towards the end of the alphabet.

It may just be a coincidence, though. I looked up the history of alphabetical order, and no one seems sure about it.

Well we need to have it in a standardized form for everyone to remember

How else could you sing the letters?
