Might LBW stand for "Large Black Women"?

Well, it's not that difficult. Well thought out gibberish with random colors and fonts and you've got it.

Yes, x does practically nothing for the Alphabet!! X is just a lazy assed letter that should be kicked out of the lineup, it sounds just like a z or an h anyway, not like it has its own sound. How can we live in a world that will dump Pluto as a planet and yet cleave to a useless letter like x?!?

Zounds! Get rid of x, you say?! Why x is the most exquisite letter of the alphabet! Mysterious, yet familiar, even a little suggestive at times! What would mark the spot? What would railroad crossing signs look like?

Do you really want to live in a world where you can hear zylophone music? Where you use chlorocks to get your whites their whitest? Would you be willing to get an ecks-ray from your doctor? Run Linucks as a Windows alternative? And you can just forget about ever having secks again... No, x plays a very important role indeed!

Are you out of your mind? X is the classic slacker letter! It barely bothers to show up in any words and when it does, it has no clearly defined sound. Its ruining the minds of our youth. Phonetically speaking it is an imposter! Obviously a synthetic letter implanted by aliens.
Besides railroad crossing signs are marked by the cross of St. George! Not worthless x. Sure the word for sex would suffer a minor setback but at least it would be spelled like it sounds.

But who would ever want to see an ECKS-ECKS-ECKS movie? By the time you put the rating on the marque, you have no room left for the title.

Certainly the only redeeming feature of the letter x is its prominent use as related to sex. But what about q? Talk about a worthless letter! It can't even appear in a word without its crutch letter u! I say we keep x (for now) and dump q.

Don't you think that's a little excentric? Q you can always use for words like quite or....quiet...or ...ok there isn't much but there's more than x...

Exactly, the letter q has no sound of its own just like x, really they both should be dropped. And the planet Mercury because that will put us one planet closer to the sun!!!!!

Fuck! If we dump Q, how can I be Dominique?! It's a cute letter, let it stay! What would we name the Q Continuum on Star Trek TNG?

As for X, not only does it end hippietrekx, it also ends my last name! I can't re-spell my name with CKS standing in for X because then it really would be a suggestive name!

MUST YOU STEAL MY LETTERS!? AND X DOES HAVE A SOUND! X says "K-zzz" like "E<K-zzz>tra".

Delete Q and X, and you delete me.

But K. That's a copy cat. C came first and can also make the soft C sound (like DeCember). And S is actually the sound of soft C, so why have S?

S and K. Those are your culprits. C does the work of two letters, and should have all the glory!

Goodness gracious! S is like the best letter Ever!!! It does everything! You can add it to the end of practically any word! My god, the world without S. . . K is an interloper though, I'm down with dropping K it gets on my nerves, its sooo pretentious. Oooooo look at me, I'm K, I'm silent but you have to add me to words like knight because I'm soooo ueber cool. . . :evil: stupid, evil K!!!

Heck, what's up with Y? It's a *part-time* vowel? How lazy! I say either we upgrade it to a full-time position or we leave it as an un-special consonant.

Okay, we keep S, but we still need Q and X. K is done, though. All girls named Katie will have to go by Catie. And Keith shall be Ceith. This shouldn't be a problem.
