"Queue." Pronounced "Cue" in 99% of the world. In the USA "Kwee" "Kwoh" "Keewee" "Kwah" and "Kaa."

What...?

I hear the word "Queue" many times in my job. No one pronounces it right, except the Canadians.

And if written in the US by someone who's heard it pronounced but never seen it, invariably gets spelled "cue". There's a clue somewhere there...

That's why we have BBC America, right? That's where I learned the word :)

Well, it's a post-literate world. I don't like it, but if I let it get to me, I can't stand the internet, and there's a lot that's worthwhile.

I DO cherish a small hope that whoever thought L33T and txtspeak where good ideas be sent to hell, and that they be made to correct every misspelling and finish and punctuate every sentence on the entire internet

Just my little wish.

Now, about how people (everywhere?) pronounce "cache"... :P

Heavens knows what they called Kylie Minogue before she became a household word.
