I was looking through the 226 Idea Book from 1982 the other day and
noticed something odd.  There is a page which suggests making letters
and numbers from Lego bricks.  On two different examples the "W" is left
out.  Possible explanations:

There is no "W" in the Danish alphabet.
The "W" is too wide to model in Lego.
The "W" was the first letter to disappear from the minifig alphabet.
Subsequent generations dropped more and more letters, causing the
keyboard of today to have so few letters.

Exactly.  As the town-juniorization of Lego continues, more letters will • be
dropped from keyboards until, finally, all that is left is a space bar.
