[pints]size and [quarts]

the substitution of /p/ for “qu” /kw/ in the
speech of uneducated ancient Romans; or the confusion by students
learning both Latin and Ancient Greek of such cognates as _pente_
and _quintus_.

And yes, we’ve heard the joke about the instruction
to new sextons: “Mind your keys and pews.”………random and in-between not right/right not

Marina,

I suppose when in a pub, I will behave myself when drinking Pints and Quarts,
and will not click my Pints and Quarts together too hard when toasting.

Sticks and stones will break my bones, but P’s and Q’s will never hurt me.
