I hate how English overuses personal pronouns.

"Know your ABCs?"

Nyet. I refuse to take ownership of the modern Latin alphabet, which is used by billions of English speakers worldwide and with minor variations by over a hundred more languages. An ordering of its letters is a common good by and for the public domain. Its entire point is being standard so it would lose all value if there was "ABCs" of mine, yours or any other single person rather than "the ABCs".
