I'm shrinking the alphabet by one letter.

[Hailtothechimp]

This may come off as strange, but these are very strange times. It occurred to me today that the unelected fraud living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue has been reduced, like shorthand, to a single letter (the one that comes immediately after V).

I think a subtle, yet clear, show of contempt for this man and all he has done to this country is in order. Therefore, I propose extricating this particular letter from every post made on this board from today until the election (and possibly beyond that).

If you go back and look, you'll see I have not used it here. Nor do I plan to again. Nearly 4% of my mother tongue, gone. I may need to think of synonyms occasionally, and must refer to candidate Clark as "General" and candidate Dean as "Doctor," but think of the satisfaction of dissing this man in such a unique fashion.

1. Oh gee...that is a good idea!

But could us posters at DU all stick to it? Frankly, just creating this comment if a bit difficult sans the mysterous letter.

But you're right. The pay-back is cool. I could use a little less of that letter in my life.

2. Did you know that the romans did not use the letter w its no where to be

found in latin!!!

3. I'd prefer to concentrate on getting Bush out of office.............

rather than limiting the alphabet; but that's just me.

5. oops

I think a subtle, yet clear, show of contempt for this man and all he has done to this country is in order.
