Holy shit, someone shortened 'queue'. Now I'm going to blow their minds when I tell them they only need to use one letter.
We will work on words like 'colour' next.
In fairness, if queue gives you pause when you write it out, it's entirely reasonable to be like "There's already a ue, why would there need to be another ue?"
I honestly prefer the distinction, because whenever I see “que” in the place of “queue” I read it as Spanish, and it also helps distinguish the word from “cue”.
¿Qué?
Ha, totally agree, that's "kay" phonetically to me, and I never took Spanish and understand and speak only a smattering from having heard enough through jobs.
Or: ”do I need to add another ue? How many was it again?”
It was originally queueueueueue but even the English found that excessive, so they deued it a skosh.
Professional worder here. That word is officially spelt "q" and then as many "ue"s as the writer thinks they can get away with. Spanish speakers are very paw abiding and terse and tend to write it que, the English less so and more whimsical and therefore queue. The Irish: queueue, the Welsh: Queueueueueueueueueueueueueue.
Statesians spell it line.
Thanks mordekaiser
There is also Cue which might be where they get confused (Edit: Ahh someone has said this sorry)
