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.
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?
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)
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.

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

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