25, not 26

You can't spell E-lessness without multiple E's.

A boy said to him mom, "I was told that folks can pick from 26."

"Not so," his mom said.  "You can only pick from 25.  That fifth option is a myth; it's out of fashion now."

"But mom!  All my pals say words with that fifth option all day long.  It's not a myth!"

"I'm so sick of idiots filling your mind with silly notions at that stupid school.  Your dad will knock that fifth option right out of your mouth as soon as I inform him that you think fitting in with your pals is so important!"

"No! Don't say anything to Dad!  I won't think about that mythical fifth option again.  I prom . . . I vow it!"
