To: Excuse_Me

“”Incidentally, 4 Qs was just the right amount. Two would be like “Excuse me,” sort of like you’d say trying to make your way through a crowd. 3 would be like “Excuse Me?” like you can’t believe someone would say such a thing to you. But 4 Qs is like full-on Steve Martin. Plus, I get a lot of Qs to boot for this thread!

XQQQQMe””

This has been buggin’ me for a over a day now.

Sound it out. :-) Ex-cue-me. You’re trying to mimmick “ex-cuse-me”. You’re missing a “s” or something after the QQQQ.

Try “XQQQQSMe”

;-)

No, because QQQQ = Qs

The other way to look at it, LiveFree, is that you're supposed to pronounce it semi-phonetically:
X (ecks)
QQQQ (queues, as in, "multiple Qs" or "more than one Q")
Me
