Teehee. I loved it. Interestingly, just tonight at dinner I was saying to Pete that the Greeks had it right. They knew that having a C in the alphabet would only confuse matters because it can be either a K or S, so why not just use those letters and forget the C. They did have ph but no f, but the one I like is theta. Whenever I'm writing out the days of the week to make a calendar of sorts to figure out what day will be when (I know I could just look at a calendar but I don't always have one with me), I use S M T W theta (I don't know how to make one on this computer) F S. It's also useful for phone.

The Greeks used to have a letter that looked like our capital F, called "digamma" -- but it was pronounced more like a w.
