Conceptually the metaphor works well.  But in code I think we're all 
grateful for the conciseness of:

   put "absc" into alphabetBlocks[1]

Besides, as Mark Wieder suggested, if we were to pursue English-like 
patterns for that, once we introduce eggcarton objects we'd be obliged 
to add egg objects as well, and decide what a chicken object is.  And 
after that we'd have to explain to new users which gets initialized 
first, the chicken or the egg.
