Oh I could've very easily spelled the word wrong, I've only heard, not read, it. I just thought it was Abcde because I was under the impression it was something to do with letters, words, or language.

There's a Spanish word - abecedario - that means alphabet. I always preferred that one to alfabeto for some reason... takes you farther in that just Alpha/Beta...

As a kid, I was taught this ABC:
A for 'orses B for mutton C for yourself D for ential E for brick F for vescence G for police H for [mm can't remember this one] I for Novello [which just goes to date this chestnmut] J for oranges K for ancis [even I haven't got the faintest idea who on earth Kay Francis is, or more probably, was] L for leather [which is silly really, as L is for leather] M for sis N for ence O for the garden wall P for relief [considered rather racy at the time] Q for a ticket R for mo S for... [can't recall: someone named Esther presumably] T for two [cf F] U for films [UFA, apparently a defunct studio, if it's all too anachronistically obscure] V for la difference W for a shilling X for breakfast Y for goodness sake Z for breezes [obviously not the Western Atlantic sort]
