Referring to the relative frequencies of Z & Q in English,
May I suggest that in U.S. English the character Z is much more common than
in British English so that Q may be the least common letter in the U.S.
and Z may be the least common letter in Britain ?
Incidenatally how do people work out these frequencies ? Do they sample
books newspapers etc and then multiply the frequencies by a weighting factor
dependant on how many copies of each book/magazine are published :-)
