ORIGINS OF "Q"
The Q source (also Q document, Q Gospel, Q Sayings Gospel, or Q from German: Quelle, meaning "source") is a hypothetical written collection of Jesus' sayings (logia). Q is part of the common material found in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke but not in the Gospel of Mark. According to this hypothesis, this material was drawn from the early Church's Oral Tradition.[1][2][3]
HOW DO YOU WRITE IT?
Cursive handwriting is barely taught today but IF you have to write the letter "Q" as a cursive capital letter do you shape it like the number "2" or like the letter "O" with a squiggly tail?
Can't forget "lower case" Qs. Do you remember learning to write letters with "ascender" and "decender" parts using pre-lined paper with dashes? Are you having a flashback right now asking yourself which way the "q" curled the tail versus the lower case "g". Computer typography doesn't do justice to the way we learned to write "back then"!

MORE "Q" QUIRKINESS
And an easy Scrabble point word, and the only two-letter word starting with a Q is Qi:
qi
n 1: the circulating life energy that in Chinese philosophy is thought to be inherent in all things; in traditional Chinese medicine the balance of negative and positive forms in the body is believed to be essential for good health syn: {qi}, {chi}, {ch'i},{ki}] [Source:http://scrabblewordfinder.org/dictionary/qi]
Q's PLACE IN THE ALPHABET
Do you need to sing the "Alphabet Song" to remember where the letter "Q" is in the traditional order of letters in the American alphabet? Thankfully, this "Blogging from A to Z Challenge" is keeping me on task to blog about a theme each day in April for each of the 26 letters. (We get Sundays off until April 30 so each letter gets its own day.)"QUILLINAN" EXPERIENCES
This is a truly personal story but I can connect it to the letter "Q". My older brother Frank Quillinan and his wife Shirley Quillinan raised me as a teenager after the rest of my direct family had died under various circumstances. My sister-in-law Shirley is now a widow and at age 85 is still going strong. As a matter of fact I am going with her and the other Quillinan girls on a cruise to Alaska next month.
When I asked if I could use the "QUILLINAN" name in today's blog theme Shirley said certainly! She added it was quite an experience to marry into a last name starting with a Q. Her maiden name had been Sherwood. Her first problem comment about having a last name beginning with "Q" was always going into professional offices and the staff could never find her paperwork because it is always mis-filed. "Q" folders were not where they should have been between "P" and "R".
As a hair stylist and previous owner of a clothing boutique store, Shirley said another problem was finding "monogrammed" decorating items for the home. Today you can get quite an assortment of "Q" monogrammed ideas from Pinterest. If you are a "Quillinan Queen", for example, you might like this on your love-seat throw pillow:

So, that's a rap on the Letter "Q"

Lower case Q's are written differently in Ecuador. Every time I write my name, it ends up with a g in it in their reading it. So I have resorted to writing my last name in all capital letters.
Other letters and numbers, I've had no problem adapting. lower case q though, can't get that one right.
