The letter Y ("why").
Q
The Spanish word for equator is "ecuador".
The letter "Q" is the only letter that does not appear in the names of any of the 50 states in the United States. It is also the only letter that does not appear in the periodic table of elements. In terms of common usage, the letter "Q" is not as prevalent as other letters in the English language, making it a unique outlier in various contexts.
In medical terminology "q" means 'every' So if a doc writes a prescription that reads 'take 2 tabs q 4 hrs" he means for you to take 2 tablets of the medicine every 4 hours Not sure if it is different in USA/UK/Australia etc but in UK terminology is generally as follows: od - Once Daily bd - twice a day tds - three times a day qds - four times a day mane - in the morning nocte - at night prn - when required In my pharmacy experience q does NOT mean 'every' but this may differ in other countries.
