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

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
