I'm all for inclusion of all people in our society. No one should be prejudiced for who they are.

BUT! Today I have to draw the line! Listening to the Play School alphabet song with my kid and it goes "A, B, C, D....X, Y, zed or zee". Since when is this blatant destruction of our national identity accepted?

I'll be picketing outside the ABC's head office from tomorrow and following that the education office until this travesty can be corrected! Who's with me?!

It rhymes better with zee. Seeth.

Why stop there? Time to campaign for fee, hee, jee, kee, etc.

L, M, N and O get a free pass because they're really just a prefix to P, not letters in their own right.

Lets go back to the old way of pronouncing Q also. It’s now pronounced like “coo”.

Petition to put the ampersand back in

I agree. Let’s also reintroduce thorn and wynn. Digraphs suck.
