ALPHABET THURSDAY - The letter Q

The letter Q in French is the favorite letter for kids, because the pronunciation is "cul" like ass. Sorry I don't want to be rude but it is the truth. Q in English could also mean a queue, which means "tail" in French. In German the Q is pronouced Kuh, which means a cow. So there is quiet a variety in the Q's pronounciation.

So why do we write queue if we could just write q, or the french q instead of cul (ass) and Q instead of Kuh (cow) it would be much shorter.

And this post is the proof that quality goes over quantity, I mean it's short.




Next time you pronounce it
