next letter

[balooney]

somebody help!
which letter comes next f g j p q
a little clue is all i ask please

[Kanewood]

2 letters between g and j, maybe same formula?

[swannbaker]

There is a word for these letters which won't come to mind just as there is for b d h l t etc . It's all to do with how the lower case letters extend , upwards or downwards i.e b and d hang upwards p and q hang downwards . As to a little clue , you should ask yourself "why?"

[swannbaker]

They're called descenders and ascenders .

Ummmm... "f" doesn't look like it goes down to me, but hey, what do I know?

Quick other question... Sodemall, do you go round seeking out Macmilllan questions just to be a pain in the ass, or are you picking up all the answers so you can win? Seems to me this site doesn't need a one man police force, and certainly not a self appointed one!
