This refers to when two or more people encounter each other in completely coincidental fashion. You might notice your old classmate from three countries away is now your waiter in a place you had no reason to expect them in, and you might say “wow, what a small world”. You might notice two people who you know from completely different spheres miraculously know each other. You might recognize by chance that your penpal has made a cameo at a venue you’re at.

But what was your most profoundly coincidental encounter?

      It’s a factor of the way we print our phone books. We still use metal type, and the letters have to be ordered from overseas. It’s expensive, so we add new letters as often as the national budget allows. The next generation to be born will be able to use letters like Q and P.
