I thought somebody would catch it from my first response. The origin is from the old printing presses, and people who set the type. The lower case p's and q's were next to each other, and easy to mix up.

"I've been minding my Ps and Qs Trying not to damage any Ws...." in the immortal words sung by the immortal voice of Richard Sinclair...  BTW, the answer is yes, though I tend to get angry from time to time (difficult not to around here!)

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I am a lousy typist (never mind type setter), but I don't switch those letters too often.
