I would have silently gone in my head ABCDEFGHIJKL and then said "MNOPQRSTUVWXYZ", but I suppose I could have said "MABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ", or should I say "MABCDEFGHIJKLOPQRSTUVWXYZ"?
Come to think of it, why do our letters have a standard order, and if they have to, why that one? A better order, off the top of my head, is OUEIAPKGHXBDPTMNLWYVZSFRCQJ

Because then it would start with .
The reason the alphabetical order is like that is because it was passed down all the way from the 14th century BC and potentially before, so a lot of sound changes and mild order changes happened (like Z going from the letter after E to the last letter) and you have the modern English alphabetical order
Maybe Seedy He Effed G, Hate I JK Ellen Mellow Pee
Look 'm in the eye and say M A C A B. It's not about repeating the alphabet, it's about asserting dominance.
