    exactly, this is so annoying. I don’t know by first-hand experience, but I also think p and q are confusing for dyslexic people.

      i knew i was forgetting some other common pairings, thank you. p/q and u/v always bugged me too.

        u and v were so difficult for me to differentiate in handwriting. My handwriting is not that pretty and the difference between a round bottom and a sharp bottom is not that big when stressed in an exam.

      I’m not dyslexic, but I always had to write P and Q capitalized on my truth tables to not absent-mindedly get them switched

      Interesting footnote about p and q. You see them turn up on formal logic proofs (for philosophy)

      When travelling in places where Latin script is not official (e.g. Middle East, Asia), I notice many mix-ups of p q and b. I always wondered how this would impact their ability to learn to program.
