Alphabet soup

Who decided to put the letter N right next to the letter M, when they're so similar? They should be apart, like O and Q are. I and J have some of the same characteristics, too, what with the dots they both have. Odd.

    I and J used to _be_ the same letter. I dunno why N and M though. Fun fact: the n-sound letter and m-sound letter are together in both the Greek and Hebrew alphabets too. Must have been a deep primeval irony. (Those ones don't look as similar to each other though. But the sounds themselves are really similar too.)
