the decimal alphabet.

Russell McGorman

Can we get by with ten letters?

sure we can.

X is out, C is out, J is history... Actually it’s a skit I remember from Saturday Night Live... Quite funny it was too.

Actually we should have a choice of 1 different alphabets... binary or something else.

B D E F K L M N O S

There you have it.

some letters have to do double duty, but that’s nothing new, so we just complete the process. It has been proved that you can eliminate vowels altogether and hardly anyone one will notice, so two is really more than enough.
