A is for Aspie

For as long as I can remember I've wanted to create a sort of alphabet of alphabets. I suppose this caters to my love of lists, words, and indeed collections, and it seems only appropriate that my collection of word lists find a permanent home. Some lists may stray from the category -- strictly speaking -- but flushing out the alphabet as much as I can is the goal. I welcome suggestions for letters without entries. Ideally I want one entry per letter of the alphabet, per category.
