  Now that you spell it out, Absedee (or maybe Abesede?) is actually kind of cute and not too hard to read. The parents could have spelled it phonetically and then later explained it comes from abcde.

    “Abesede” is getting too close to “obesity”, but I think “Absedee” works. But yeah, people need to stop trying to use letters and symbols to replace the phonemes of that letter’s name.

      The whole point of written language is to replace phonemes and other concepts to symbols.

      Unbeknown to us, those Karen creating Tragedighs are actually evolving human language.
