So say them exactly the same and spell them Dan Uayle, Uagmire and Family Guy.
your work address is derived from Arabic. Since Arabic spelling is in a different alphabet, one where there is no Q, all words are translated to English phonetically and your current address would be in Irak. That would seem to be closest to the Arabic “hirack” sound they make. The British decided to spell it that way and we dont use their gallon and there is no reason to accept their “Q” Hey aren’t they run by a Queen? they slipped that in there just to screw with me.

You should quit quelling Q for awhile and take up aquaintance with apostrophe.

Very intriguing thread here. Inquiring minds want to know.

Your quasi-serious quest to quash the use of the letter “Q” is grotesque.

BRAVO! It's about time someone exposed this fraud of a letter - that was a hilarious rant. But what about the
second most useless letter in the English language?
What is the deal with "X"? Ok, so I just used it in my first sentence, but "X" still isn't pulling much weight (although secks just wouldn't be the same without it.)

Notice Q's accomplice U garnered a cheap 1 point role in Scrabble to facilitate Q's infiltration into the language. If I have my way we will slam U with RICO charges for that.ROFL

The letter A has to cover a few pronunciation bases... The letter "A" has at least six sounds in English, as it is spoken in California--Able, Apple, All, About, Any, Arrow.

I was very thankful for Q and Z in the last Scrabble game I played, a couple of weeks ago. I drew both on my initial draw, but was able to use both in one of the toughest games I have ever played in. Without the 10 point Q and 10 point Z I would have been unable to squeak out a narrow victory.

English is a funny language, with somewhat ambiguous rules.
Spell “fish”? G H O T I, of course.
