Between them E, T, A, O, I, and N hold the majority of letters in texts. These are the upper class.

Throwing in the S, H, R, D, and L bourgeoisie accounts for more than three quarters.

This leaves C, U, M, W, F, G, Y, P, B, V, K, X, J, Q, and Z to share less than one quarter of the written letters in English.

I'm not sure that the obvious word of the proletariat needs to be used more, though.

How about syzygy?
