Which makes sense.
If making the usage of letters imbecile-proof then they shouldn't have used "N" (=too close to M, people may go and look for something that doesn't exist) or "C" (=Americans pronounce the "Z" almost the same way, people may go and look for something that doesn't exist), "B" can be mis-heard for "P", and so on.
The point is a different one: you don't need these letters! There are terminals 1-7, and then inside these terminals you have gates that have numbers. That's all. Why add that complexity? I know it's France and we love it, but why can't they for once make an exception?
