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.
Mac@mander.xyz 3 days ago
I’d knock down even further than that, tbh.
C at best.

Right. By alphabetical order of pronunciation.
Aitch, are, ayy, bee, dee, dubble-yuu, cue, eee, ecks, el, em, en, ess, eye, eff, jay, jee, kay, oh, pee, see, tea, you, vee, why, zed.

LMNOP feels like you’re going down a slide.

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 days 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 2 days ago
I think the British use zed also don’t they?

I read about somebody naming their kid Abcde, claiming it was pronounced like ‘ab city’… meanwhile, Elemenope and Kiuares were right there.
samus12345@sh.itjust.works 3 days ago
Just tell everyone that Elemenope is a Greek name.

ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 days 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.

@qrstuv@lemmy.sdf.org is definitely S tier

Had a kid recently… They changed the song so LMNOP isn’t so rapid fire for new babies
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 days ago
How secondhand do the babies have to get before it speeds back up?
taiyang@lemmy.world 3 days 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.

I’m trying to picture how this sounds. If it is “zed”, does it just not rhyme with T-U-V ?
Mohamed@lemmy.ca 3 days ago
It would sorta rhyme with X instead?
Double U Ex, Y and Zed
Idk
helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 3 days ago
T-U-Ved, W-X-Y-Zed
Seems alright to me.

Are you, Just Kidding about that C tier?
Ariselas@piefed.ca 3 days ago
sure, but move “WXYZ” up if you pronounce it “zed” but drop it down 3 for “zee”.

“oh cool we have that awesome linguistic pattern that is on 8 letters already, want to round it out with that?”
“nah”
“zed”

Wow, another “ee” sound purist huh?
tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 2 days ago
Imagine not putting all of RSTLNE in S tier, SMH
FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 3 days ago
I want to see how other oanguages put this. They pronounce the letters slightlly different in each language.
okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 3 days ago
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.
ijustliketrains@lemmy.world 3 days ago
I think WXYZ is the best part of the French alphabet. Doublavay, Eeks, Eegrek, et Zed
KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 3 days ago
Elemenopee is the undisputed high point.

It’s the only other starting point when trying to figure out where something is in a library or something.
