Ten points if you can spot what the following letters have in common: g, j, p, q, y. That's right ... their little dangly tails,

known in the trade as "descenders".

With less than a fifth of the alphabet possessing them, it's surprising how often they show up (18 times thus far) and without them, you couldn't have such delicious looking words as "pygmy".
