"u" after "q". Why? Why not just have "q"?

Yes, the e is a bit superfluous too!

Especially queuing for the knee clinic.

We all know that q makes the kew noise.

Actually, 'kew' is the letter name, we teach the sound 'kw' in phonics. 'Queue' is a tricky word that uses unusual grapheme/phoneme correspondences ie isn't spell how it sounds.

Yes, those darn unusual words. Why bother with any of them. If only we used grunts to communicate.

I'm a scrabble player, there are plenty of words with a Q in with no U. I love non Qu words.

Qatar
Qi
Tranq
Qis
Qat
Suq (ok, it has a U but not after the U)
Qadi
Qaid

There's loads more but I can't remember them.
