Subject:Movement "Afoot" to Re-order English Alphabet

Hi Volks:

I thought that I had heard it all.

Apparently Microsoft is leading some international consortium to set the
standards for the re-ordering of the English alphabet!

Apparently, computers can work much better, if the most commonly used
letters are first in line - and the least commonly used ones are pushed
farther back - it's got something to do with code efficiency and increasing
the speed of the internet.

I personally don't want them to do this - what do you think?
