The Q


Why is Q so misplaced in the alphabet?

Doesn’t it seem as though it belongs at the end of the alphabet with the other often not used letters like X Y Z?

Q is so much more like these letters and yet it lives right there in the middle near M and N, whom I use much more often.

It even comes before S and T – who honestly should be much closer to the beginning.

But it is entirely the placement of Q that makes no sense to me.

Anne, that is so deep! Never has there been such an intellectually stimulating discussion of the letter Q!
