Frank and Ernest by Thaves for August 25, 2022

Not so. The Q sticks with her almost exclusively, but she U-nites with other letters often.

Up until about 5-6 years ago, this would’ve been unreservedly funny. But now my first thot (I regret to say), was that I don’t want YOU going anywhere near the craziness that is Q.

Oh, you!!!

This could get messy. Q is having a vowel movement…

Except in Qatar.

It’s been forced into being a thing in language, much like the ie thing except . . .

Not in Qatar.

Not in qat.

qi

Except when Q goes in for an IQ test then he has to leave U behind.

u bet! oh wait…

Unless when it’s Qi (words with friends)

Interesting. . .now I suppose I’ll have to find out why we even have a Q. . when it sounds exactly like k and we could’ve just spelled “queen” as “kween.”. . .and even in foreign names such as Qatar and Iraq, the Q sounds like a k. . . is there any instance where q doesn’t sound like a k?

this is two hard… I quit….!

Those two making the comment must have an iron constitution!

In other languages the U can make a word offensive. Iqaluit, the Nunavut capital means place of many fish add a U and it means people who don’t squeeze the Charmin (use your imagination)

The make a lovely pair…

….p Q R s t U…

Œ, œ, æ, ƕ, ʤ, ʬ, and ‽ are really far too close… ☺

Recently, new drug brand names have used Q, Z, and X in novel ways, and pronounce them as something else. This is because all the words in the English language, and others as well, have been used up on product names. So new products have to invent new words.

Tell that to Iraq.

The other two may not be inseparable, but they have an iron bond.

you’re full of sheqels

Don’t tell Shaq.

The have an iron bond.

Oh, wait, that’s the other ones.

Quite!

Nice.

Every now and then “Q” is seen with “I”.
