When the printing press was invented the letters where kept in a divided box called a case. the capitals where kept at the top and the little letters where at the bottom, Hence Capital letters became "upper case" and the little letters "lower case"

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

... also, in the case, the 'p' mats were kept besides the 'q' mats, therefore the saying "Mind your p's and q's".

I've heard a different version. And since being told to mind your P's and Q's is done in the context of mind your own business, I believe this to be true.

P’s n Q’s: it actually means, Mind your Pints and Quarts. In Pubs when people would start arguing, the bartenders would tell them to mind their own drinks... being pints n quarts!

Bartenders would use tally marks I.e. 4

pints equal a quart, if the customer got out of line, the bartender would

use the phrase, mind your p's and q's. I have also heard the customer would

use it when they thought they were being over charged..
