Dots

I find the two English alphabets 'i' and 'j' rather amusing. They are the only one's with a dot over them. Two of the 3 alphabets (besides 't', ummm... maybe 'f' too) where one needs to lift the pen to complete it. What wheels must have churned in the heads of the alphabet-creators to decide on their appearance? Or is it that 'i' also stands for 'me' and hence looks like a person with a head on top? Whatever... just a silly thought...

Or you can be like me and decide that as no other alphabet resembles 'i' and 'j' without the dots, it is not necessary to dot them for comprehension :) Now that you have passed school, no one will scream and rave about this...

I have no qualms regarding Q. It is continuous. One doesn't need to lift the pen to complete it :-)
