For no real reason, I've always felt it made more sense for X to come before W.
Not necessarily right before W, but certainly after S or T.
Of course this would mess up the whole "X, Y, Z" ending of the standard alphabetic recital. But I don't care. X, Y, Z sounds fine. W, X does not.
Perhaps the W could come before the X, but not immediately preceding it.
Maybe the W could come after the M. M, W, N. It looks like the M was upturned &, in the process of righting itself, shed one of its outer lines & became an N.
This works for lower-case too: m, w, n.
Not sure whom to ask about this, but perhaps some forward-thinking, rebellion-minded grammarians can take the lead & get this worked out. It will be much appreciated.
This is the sort of thing I think about when I should be working on this week's show.
