The backwards alphabet

whatismyname

So... who else can say the alphabet backwards?

As kids, my sisters and I sat down and learned the alphabet backwards and I can rhyme it off...

I always thought it was standard practice to know the alphabet backwards, as well as forwards, but recent conversations lead me to believe that I'm the only one in my social circle who can do this. How odd they are!

For those who can say the alphabet backwards, how fast can you do it?

Friend took videos of me doing it, and I think I'm at about 3 and a half seconds fastest, so clearly could do a lot better - the record seems to be 2.131 seconds.

Do you have a particular way of saying it that helps you remember it?

I kinda have mine broken into four sentences
(ZYXWVUT. SRQPONM. LKJIHGF. EDCBA), but on watching videos on youtube of others doing it they seem to mostly have another format of doing it.

I guess whatever works works, but I think the four sentence method is definitely one of the easiest.

Oh, I can do that. Watch:

A, B, C, D-... ah, damn it.

I once thought useless knowledge too, but being able to laugh with it - especially by adding in animations to it - is a usefulness

Tombi!

I can. I made sure I could do it easily enough. Just in case a cop ever asked me to do it when drunk.
Unfortunately gardaí don't do that.

Yes! Somebody actually read it and found the mistake :P

Just kidding, actual answer:

'Damn. I swear I say it right, but have never typed it before. I read it twice yet I knew with certainty there was guaranteed to be a typo in there'

I know the Greek alphabet, if that's any use. Actually it did come in handy for a quiz once.

I know!

I mean this country is seriouslybackwards up if we're only teaching our kids to say the alphabet frontways.
