This Week's Trivia Question:
Why is there no “J” Street in Washington, DC: (1) DC planner Pierre L’Enfant had a marked dislike for John Jay, the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court; (2) “J” and “I” look too much like each other, compounded by the fact that there is no letter “J” in classical Latin; or (3) “J” Street would have been 10th Street, so the north-south streets above it would be the 1000 block that would be better associated with “K” Street — the universal symbol used to abbreviate the number 1,000?
Answer:
According to the website GhostsofDC.org, the real reason behind the missing “J" Street is because in the English alphabet the letter “J" looked too much like the letter “I” and in the Latin alphabet — widely cited by educated persons in the Enlightenment era — there is no letter “J" in Latin.
