For sure, but that's exactly what I was doing. OP linked an article, I thought the framing of the Gemini conversation by the author was a strange choice, and I commented on it.

I can't say I've ever felt any particular obligation to only talk about the direct subject of the article (the threatening message) and not the way the article is written, but maybe I could have led into my observation more clearly?

Why stop there? Time to campaign for fee, hee, jee, kee, etc.

L, M, N and O get a free pass because they're really just a prefix to P, not letters in their own right.
