Ps and Qs 

Mind your Ps and Qs means to watch your manners, or be careful how you behave. It comes from Please and Thank you.

Your great-aunt's coming to tea and she's really fussy about behaviour - better mind your Ps and Qs.

I had a great time with the P's & Q's last season, and can't wait to hang out with them as they support the Sounders!

P's and Q's 

From an old printer's axiom. Back in the early days of printing presses, each line of text had to be set up one letter at a time. Since the letters in the press were reversed (so they'd print forward), the printmaker (or typographer) needed to be careful not to confuse one letter for the other.
Reminding someone to "watch his p's and q's" means to pay attention to the details.

On the stand, Bill was always careful to watch his p's and q's when dealing with the lawyers.
