    ABC are variables, but XYZ are coordinates. XYZ gives you a space to work in, but you never know what ABC are up to.

      This despite society’s frequent demand to “Know your ABCs”.

    Everyone knows ABC, but unfortunately, familiarity breeds contempt. XYZ are edgy, angular and never go home alone.

    Because ABC sounds like a kids song, but XYZ sounds like tech-bros. While notorious for poor financial decisions, they definitely understand marketing.

    ABC implies there are D through to Z

    While XYZ is a 3 point plan because nothing is after Z

    A, B, and C are commonly used letters. X, Y, and Z are rarer

    X factor.

    Also, who wants to alpha or beta test products? I’ll take the finished iterations, thank you.

    Because we like feeling like we use all of our letters equally. If ABC is used for lists we use XYZ for unknown variables

    X is unknown, XYZ are also used for co-ordinates.

    ABC is the start of teaching the alphabet to kids
