Today, I learned that phones didn't have Qs or Zs. Things you don't notice on that one rotary phone your parents used to have when you were 5.


Well, they had to make room for that tetragraph that has since sadly fallen so out of favor, "OPER".


Or the rotary phone your parents still have right now in my case.


Or the antique Bell candlestick rotary phone that my mom has, still hard-wired into a phone nook inset into the plaster walls during construction nearly 100 years ago. And that bad boy still works flawlessly.


Do they still rent it?
