Maybe he ignored whatever mega-ping set off the 3-way split fubar.

At any rate, tgsl suggested via another communication that a 3-way alpha split is wrong, but the following 8-way split is more logical:

NAMES WITHOUT NUMERALS IN THEM

-names beginning with a vowel, ending with a vowel

-names beginning with a vowel, ending with a consonant

-names beginning with a consonant, ending with a vowel

-names beginning with a consonant, ending with a consonant

NAMES WITH NUMERALS IN THEM:

-prime numbers

-fractions

-even numbers

-odd numbers

She volunteered you to perform the sorting.

I’ll just tell ‘pod that I spent all of 30 seconds splitting the list up 3 ways, you and a few others spent several days belaboring the whole issue, and that you can’t be bothered.
