> alphabet just prints the English alphabet in upper and lowercase. I use this surprisingly often (probably about once a month)

I genuinely wonder, why would anyone want to use this, often?

For me it's when I call customer service or support on the phone, and either give them an account #, or confirm a temporary password that I have been verbally given.

Are you referring to the nato alphabet utility? Or the alphabet script that prints

  abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
  ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

If your native language uses a different alphabet, you might not have been taught "the alphabet song". For example, I speak/read passable Russian, but could not alphabetize a list in Russian.
