In the past century, all kinds of unfairness and discrimination have been condemned or declared illegal. But there is another potential form of discrimination that still prevails: alphabetism. For those who are not aware of this disadvantage, this refers to discrimination against those whose surnames begin with the second half of the alphabet.

It has long been found that when customers look through the phone book. Compared with a taxi company named Zodiac Killer, a taxi company named AAAA has considerable advantages. But not everyone knows how many advantages Adam Abbott has over Zoe Zisman in his life. English names are evenly distributed in the front and back of the alphabet, but many excellent people's surnames have initials between A and K, which can't help but attract people's attention.

The initials of the president and vice president of the United States are b and c respectively; Among George Bush's predecessors (including his father), there are 26 surnames whose initials are in the first half of the alphabet, while only 16 is in the second half. What's even more surprising is that six of the seven heads of state have more surnames (Berlusconi, Blair, Bush, Cilac, Chretien and Koizumi). The surnames of the world's three central bank governors (Greenspan, Duysen Berg and Hayami) are also at the top of the alphabet, although one of them actually uses Japanese. The same is true of the five richest people in the world (Gates, Buffett, Allen, Ellison and Albright).

Is this just a coincidence? One conclusion that people at the bottom of the alphabet spend all their spare time is that things start to get worse at a very young age. From the first year of kindergarten, in order to remember students' names conveniently, teachers arrange seats for students in alphabetical order from the first row. Therefore, the nearsighted little Zysman is still in the back row, and the teacher who can't feel anything rarely asks him questions about inspiring his intelligence and improving his ability. At that time, children who suffered from the alphabet thought they were lucky and escaped the teacher's control. In fact, the result is poor grades, because I don't get the same personal care and I'm not so confident in speaking in public.

This humiliation is not over yet. At the university graduation ceremony, people whose surnames begin with A, B and C were rewarded with pride. When it was Zysman's turn, most people were already dozing off. Shortlist of job interviews, ballot papers, conference speeches and attendance lists: all these are often arranged in alphabetical order, and people always lose interest when browsing through these things.
