Alphabet

I was thinking about letters, words, and Tostito’s Salsa Verde chips the other day (cause have you had them? I mean, about everything I think about involves Tostito’s Salsa Verde chips now a days!  “Yes that’s Tostito’s Salsa Verde Chips, if the fat doesn’t get you, the salt will”) and I thought. I would like to change the alphabet.  26 letters is just an odd number.  Well it’s an even number but it’s an odd number to stop at.  Just as ‘at’ is an odd word to use to end a sentence.  Clearly you all agree that 27 letters makes more sense.  I have a 27th letter in mind but you can’t easily put it in type because it doesn’t exist, so this is gonna be an uphill battle.  I’ll just tell you, it’s shaped like an O only with little humps around the round part kind of like a daisy.  And I think it should be yellow in the middle like a daisy.  You know what, it’s a daisy!  From now on the 27th letter will be a Daisy.  The only letter of color and I for one say it’s about time!  But I hate it being at the very end of the alphabet with the misfit letters.   X and Z are practically worthless and ALL the vowels hate them.  I mean, who types Xylophone, and we KNOW the Zebra is just a myth, like there are stripped horses out there!  Then there is good ole ‘Sometimes Y’.  Sandwiched between those two vowel hated letters, the Y has to act like it’s a little bit of both.  Y is the first Trans-Consonant letter!  And Y is a whiner. Why Y Whines I don’t know. (Just wanted you to pronounce Y three times there, nailed it!)  Just be yourself Y.  No one cares if you’re a vowel or consonant.  Let letters be letters is what I always say.  Well, it’s what I JUST said anyway and will start always saying.  So can we just let the Daisy shaped letter be the 11th letter or something near the middle and out of trouble?  I’ll explain what sound you make to say the Daisy letter later, but let’s just say it will totally change the way you pronounce the word Liver.  LI-VER.  God that feels right!

Next week: Why do we need the question mark?  Or should I say: Why do we need the question mark.
