Have you ever noticed the amazing redundancy of the word "queue"? I'm fascinated by that word.You'd think it could be spelled with fewer vowels. Like none, for example. Just the letter Q.

But no, it cleverly starts off with a Q then sneaks in a U-E combination. And it doesn't stop there either. It repeats the U-E again... and quite frivolously, in my opinion.

Q.

U-E.

U-E.

It's like the second U-E is just tacked onto the end in case the reader isn't fully convinced of its Q-ness.

Queue. Queue. Queue. Queue. It's fun to type too.

I think I'll try to use it several times in conversation today. Maybe I'll talk about it with the next person in the bank machine Q.
