I was asked for a revit interview that which alphabet is not used while naming grids? I was very puzzled to hear such a question. Does someone know about this or is it false?
I've never heard of such a thing, and I've been doing this gig for 3 decades.

do you have any explanation why these are avoided?
Yes.
Letter O look like number 0
Letter I look like number 1
XXX is known for adult websites
FU is a common curse in English
Some people even avoid H and 8 for grid line because they sound the same when speak. I understand the reason but I wouldn't go that far.
That sounds like a really dumb "gotcha" question. Probably trying to intentionally make you uncomfortable to see how you react. Not saying its not a valid point, but I don't see the point in asking this in an interview beyond this.
Just a guess.
Actually, I think I just lost the job. 666, 69 and 13 are numbers - not letters of the alphabet. Arrgh!
So, let's say you're looking at 28 grids from A to Z. Is it really going to be that difficult to decide whether O is a number or a letter?
I would think a missing O grid would be more confusing.
On a serious note, I would only avoid letter O and letter I for the reason I already mentioned.
I personally use XXX and FU all the time for temporary grids and refer to them with a straight face during project team meeting.
Those are letters, not alphabets...
