Alphabetical Exclusions

With the NFL playoffs in full swing, college and pro basketball heating up, baseball spring training mere weeks away (standing ovation!), and even the Olympics garnering some spotlights, you will soon, no doubt, be hearing someone say, "There is no 'i' in team." As if multi-millionaire athletes and their media toadies have a stranglehold on all the alphabetical arcana. I think not. What follows is a whole alphabet of some perhaps surprising words missing some perhaps surprising letters. This is best when read aloud, preferably to multitudes ("I" is the middle word in pride, baby).
