Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 1,175,206,669 comments, and only 229,345 of them were in alphabetical order.

Nice. From what blocks are they repaving? I recall the grading was around Johnston and Maple, but can't remember how far down it went

Just in time for it to be ruined by snow plows and salt trucks!

Right now it's from Communipaw to Lafayette, but it looks like they'll be extending south (toward the light rail crossing), as well.

It’s not wrong, I think it just doesn’t count numerals as words (2). Which means that it’s “a,i,o,t,y,” which is indeed in alphabetical order.
Edit: as someone below me so helpfully pointed out, it’s true even if you spell out “two.” So I was right, but also not as right as I could have been.

Just the beginning but smooth so far.

Even if it did count it as a word, it'd say "And it only took two years", and tw follows to alphabetically.

lol... wut? 2 = "two". How is that NOT in alphabetical order?

Hahaha you’re right! Good catch! I was so busy trying to prove it was “technically” right, I failed to notice it was just straight up “right.”
