: "Apropos of nothing. The pronunciation of 'Q' being 'Que' is driving me up the wall. This language is absurd. Assuming one didn't know 'Q' what the hell are they gonna do with 'Que'. And for that matter, how is Que and Queue the same? Why the two extra letters???"

Technically (🤓) I don't think "Que" is English, but I'm willing to forgive them that, considering they're Swedish (or were pre-acquisition). I think they just really wanted the Q in there, even though "cue" or "kyoo", or an IPA spelling, would be more appropriate.
