793528's Journal: Interesting Slashdot Usernames: The Alphabet

It's not surprising that there is a username for each single alphabet letter. What is a bit surprising is how long it took to get there. I would have thought all the one-letter names would get snatched up quick, but it wasn't until UID 167483 that the last one was created. Here's the list, in alphabetical order:

• A (8698)
• B (14651)
• c (8461)
• d (4334)
• e (12832)
• F (19630)
• G (2545)
• h (59802)
• i (8254)
• j (2547)
• k (7946)
• l (10524)
• M (2160)
• n (36088)
• O (90420)
• p (7977)
• q (4977)
• r (13067)
• S (6235)
• t (8386)
• u (167483)
• V (10824)
• W (18328)
• X (1235)
• Y (13582)
• Z (20026)

And in UID order:

• X (1235)
• M (2160)
• G (2545)
• j (2547)
• d (4334)
• q (4977)
• S (6235)
• k (7946)
• p (7977)
• i (8254)
• t (8386)
• c (8461)
• A (8698)
• l (10524)
• V (10824)
• e (12832)
• r (13067)
• Y (13582)
• B (14651)
• W (18328)
• F (19630)
• Z (20026)
• n (36088)
• h (59802)
• O (90420)
• u (167483)

Some interesting (to me) notes:

• X missed it by just one to get UID 1234.
• d's UID is a palindrome.
• None of the alphabet usernames were created in the same position as they occur alphabetically.
• Twelve of the letters are uppercase, 14 are lowercase.
• B's, e's, h's, l's, n's, and Z's UIDs are all zipcodes.
