  Call me crazy but LMNOP stands on the shoulders of HiJK. Give my boy at least a B

  • NotSteve_@lemmy.ca ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    My thoughts exactly. You need a build up for a drop to really hit which HIJK carries with beauty and grace

  Hard disagree on WXYZ. C tier. Maybe B tier at best.

    I’d knock down even further than that, tbh.
    C at best.

  I read about somebody naming their kid Abcde, claiming it was pronounced like ‘ab city’… meanwhile, Elemenope and Kiuares were right there.

  I like wxyz in french. I took french like 30 years ago but the alphabet was sticky due to the last bit.

  (This is phonetics/pronunciation, ofc, same melody)

  Doobluh-vay (double v), eeks (x, but you saw a mouse), eegrek (???), zed (zed sounds much cooler than zee, which ironically sounds more French to me)

  Hands down the best part of the French alphabet.

  • Scrollone@feddit.it ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I’m Italian and the letters sounds similar to French: doppia vu, ics, ipsilon, zeta. But the standard Italian alphabet only has 21 letters, and w, x and y are not part of the alphabet (together with j and k).

    By the way, the name of “y” in French means “greek i”

  • UnrepententProcrastinator@lemmy.ca ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I think the British use zed also don’t they?

  Had a kid recently… They changed the song so LMNOP isn’t so rapid fire for new babies

  source

  • Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    How secondhand do the babies have to get before it speeds back up?

    source
• taiyang@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  I will dare to mention the new version; LMNOP is knocked down a peg because those bastards have confused young children for centuries! The new king is XYZ, especially with that non-letter &.

  Forget that Mozart played the original melody in the Twelve Variations!

  That said, shout out to the rollercoaster one Simple Songs did. I am partial to their ABCDEFGH.

  source

  • sem@piefed.blahaj.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I’m trying to picture how this sounds. If it is “zed”, does it just not rhyme with T-U-V ?

    source

    • Mohamed@lemmy.ca ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      It would sorta rhyme with X instead?

      Double U Ex, Y and Zed

      Idk

      source
    • helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      T-U-Ved, W-X-Y-Zed

      Seems alright to me.

• ivanafterall@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  QRSTUV being ranked so low is purely a skill/commitment issue. You’ve gotta hit that shit with gusto, stick your chest out and enunciate every letter like it’s Les Mis or a military march. KYOO! ARRRR! ESSSSSS! TEEEEEEYOOOOOUVEEEE.

  It’s one of your few opportunities to hit a nice, long, steady stride.

• LodeMike@lemmy.today ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Are you, Just Kidding about that C tier?

  source
• Ariselas@piefed.ca ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  sure, but move “WXYZ” up if you pronounce it “zed” but drop it down 3 for “zee”.

  I want to see how other oanguages put this. They pronounce the letters slightlly different in each language.

    Pretty sure elemenopee is universally S-tier in all languages.

      I’m actually curious how it’s sung in Spanish, they have a few extra letters in the critical range.

      l, ll, m, n, ñ, o, p

      I took Spanish in highschool but that was a long time ago. I vaguely recall learning a weird version of the alphabet song that starts with A, B, C, CH, D, E, F as the first grouping, but I can’t recall how it went past that.
