The Tagline "Albatetize the Alphabet" brought to mind this:

ZYXW VUTS RQ PONML KJIH GFED CBA

Those spaces between the backward Alphabet mean pause(s).

On a good day I can say the above in 3 point 5 seconds.

I have to admit I have been beat two times by girls who were in the 8th Grade.

I learned the alphabet backwards by typing the alphabet and then looking at the
character on the right side, typing that character (z).
Looking at the character to the left of the last typed character and typing it
(y), and so on, so on until I typed (a).
Then all I had to do then was look at the reversed line and repeat typing it,
OVER AND OVER.

Worked for me.

I have to confess when saying the reversed alphabet out loud, at first (for
many. many months), as I said each character my fingers twitched.
Little finger on left hand, first finger on right hand, third finger on left
hand, third finger on left hand... etc.
For: zyxw.....

Hope this tale was enjoyed by those reading it.

It's the truth, it's actual, everything is satisfactual.
Zippy-de-do-dah.......
BTW de-do-dah doesn't mean a sublimital message in Morse Code.

How's that for a Tagline?
