Anybody remember the old Saturday Night Live routine (Belushi/Akroyd days) with the government flunky explaining the proposed switch to a leaner, more efficient "metric alphabet"?

The entire alphabet had been reduced to the ten most needed letters, thereby eliminating the need for such redundant consonants as "c" and "k" and creating a universal vowel to replace "a, e, i, o, u".

I think one of the new letters was something like "ell-emm-enn-oh-pee".

We seem to be heading in that direction!
