FINE, i’ll be the one to say it: the letter J has overstayed its welcome. i’ve never liked it, and frankly i get a little irritated when i’m forced to type it.
i don’t like the way it looks with it’s stupid little hook hanging off an otherwise respectable T. i don’t like the way it sounds, either. so fucking whimsical and bourgeois. every time i’m around a coworker named “Josh” or “Jim” i can practically hear their names tittering at me like a french aristocrat.
“whoa peter,” you might be saying. “you can’t simply get rid of a letter. wouldn’t that really mess up the english language?” you ask. “also,” you add, quite impertinently, “this sounds like undiagnosed OCD.”
well guess what, enabler? you’re wrong because i’ve written every post on this blog for the last five years without using the letter J until today. feel free to read every post on this blog–i’ll wait here and count my ad revenue, you rube.
and let’s be real: there’s no word that starts with the letter J that can’t be replaced with a G anyway. gust give it a try and goin me on this gourney to a brighter tomorrow.
