There was a period of time when people had to memorize the alphabet before there was a song.

    The order of letters in the alphabet has no meaning, A needs not come before B, its just that way because of the song.

    “The alphabet” could just as easily be qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm

      The order of the alphabet is older than the song, it goes back to the phoenicians

      This actually blew my mind and I can’t decide if it’s just because I’m high or not
