The ABC song is clearly an attempt to lull our youth into a society complacent with mediocrity.

The whole song is sung to the twinkle twinlkle little star theme (don't even get me started on ttls), a song sung as a lullaby, to break concentration and encourage young listeners to zone out. It lumps a group of letters together (LMNOP) to obsficate and confuse learners. Its rhythmic sing song cadence encourages learning the letters in succession, which builds the memory to recall them only in succession, creating an imbalance in recall (versus learning say, numbers, which can be recalled easily in any order). Finally it creates a false impression of accomplishment at the end (now I know my ABCs).

Do we really know them? Unlikely.

so what you're saying is, it's better to not treat the letters as being in any particular numerical order?

like, when some Nazi says "Heil Hitler 14/88", we can say "you mean Heil Hitler, 14/QK?". And then we've cut racism in, like, half and things are better. I think this idea has legs.

Its a joke post

e: I was poking fun at how it's difficult to say the alphabet backwards, versus counting backwards, but my brain stopped working as I was writing the sentance
