It's time to put the basic units of the English language to the ultimate test. You know what that means:

DEATHMATCH!!!

That's right. The ultimate tournament of alphabetical supremacy! Only one will survive, and you, the public, will choose the victor. You bloodthirsty literates, you.

Why? You dare to ask WHY?!? Because language is blood, you Philistine. Ask the Picts. Or the Philistines. JUST DON'T CALL THEM DURING DINNER. (It's spaghetti night.)

OH THE CARNAGE.

Are you ready? Is your blood up? Are you prepared to have your vowels disemboweled and your consonants culled?

There will be no mercy. Your keyboard will never look the same.

In case you need to be reminded of the combatants, here is an instructional video from James Earl Jones:



Sobering, isn't it? Thank you, James. I think we all understand the stakes, now.

Get ready. Voting will be open for forty-eight hours OR WHENEVER I FEEL LIKE CLOSING IT. (NOTE: VOTING IS NOW CLOSED.) The top vote-getter will receive a round two "bye." In the event of a tie letters will be forced to sing "Blue Eyes Crying In the Rain" in a contest judged by the judge. The judge will choose judge the winner judge and judge judge next judge round. Judge.

WARNING: Participating in this event may cause all written and printed text to appear as gibberish for a period of between twenty minutes and forty-thousand years judge.



Now, the poll:

[Poll #1060388]



Tune in Wednesday for the gory results, and for the BLOODBATH that will be ROUND TWO judge.

What I find truly bizarre is that there are letters which are clearly better liked than others. I mean, *I* like Y better than B because it's both a consonant and a vowel, but why do others like it better?

J vs. Q? Jesus, that's so unfair to both.

I'm pretty sure that T is on steroids, and therefore I demand testing procedures.

Y! Y! Y!

What are you all thinking? What possible use could you have for B?

We have rented Sesame Street Old School and we just saw this in context. It was teH awesome.

Jackie Robinson did one, too. Maybe he counted! I think he counted.

I am very tired, but obviously X will kill everyone

I don't know what's up with the Q faction.

It's useless without U!
