T is for Torn (adjective. I shouldn't like the subject of the prior post, but it is one of the fastest planes ever built, and it was built in the 1960s. It was so far ahead of its time, that was it built in the future and brought back to the then present? Building in the future would have made it easier. With advances in manufacturing, and materials. Not easy peezy, but less trauma than being told they need it now! (the first time) I guess I'm not torn, but seeing one in person would qualify for the bucket list. Wonder if they have any in the Arizona 'Boneyard'?).

Y is for Y (Question. Why are 3 letters (w-h-y) necessary to ask a question, when one (Y) exudes the aqua velva of questioningness? They even sound the same when spoken in English. So are we 'receiving' more letter value by using why vs Y? How much computer storage space could be freed up by the use of one character instead of three?).
