"q" vs. "g"

[Ivan]

Why do some people use 'q' when it should be 'g'?

 

[ewenlin]

? because q is by and large a friendly letter.

 

[AThornquist]

Erm... I'm not really sure what you are talkinq about. Do you have an example?

 

[Whitefield]

Your guestion is a qoob one.

 

[LawrenceU]

q is a more theologically astute letter given its standing in higher criticism.

 

[Whitefield]

Well ... q is used for θ in unicode and g is used for γ. And we know that θ is the first letter in θεος, so maybe they are just pious.

 

[Webservant]

I thought this was a Star Trek thread.

 

[Berean]

Way too deep a guestion for me.

 

[ClayPot]

I've never heard it referred to as "g". I do know that "q" stands for "quelle". Though I'm not sure which language that's from or what it means!

 

[Jesus is my friend]

Ivan,good question,I have a Q in my name so it irks me sometimes when folks will substitute a g instead of the q,on the other hand the proper lower case q has a backwards hook on it which feels odd almost harsh to the hand shaping it and offers no dignity to the letter it represents

'Q' is an abbreviation for Quelle which is German for Source. It is a document (supposedly) where the writer of Luke and the writer of Matthew got their common material not in Mark. Not sure who first coined the term maybe Albert Schwitzer, someone correct me if I am wrong.

 

[Stomata leontôn]

Because they admire Quantrill and his black flag, which read only "Q?"

 

[Ivan]

Hmmm...this thread reminds me of rat brains.

 

[PuritanCovenanter]

Rat Brains.... MMMmmm MMMmmm Good.

 

[turmeric]

Mmmm mmmm qood!

 

[Reformed Thomist]

I have no idea what you're talkinq about.

 

[Berean]

Obvious attempts at lame humour.

 

[Zenas]

Semper ubi sub ubi.

 

[Berean]

Semper ubi sub ubi.

Skivvies?

 

[Zenas]

Long johns.

 

[Bookman]

I'm all for getting rid of q. It doesn't do anything that k can't do!
