	The first thing "Q-K" makes we think of is royal widowing.

	When I think of all the years my teachers tried to drum into my head that the "wh" sound was NOT the same as the "w" sound. . .

	So I just played this game again, and couldn't understand why i couldn't click up/down the comments, and i kept playing around... Found out I could click my own comment down though (didn't read, random clicking trying to get it to work, lol), and apparently I already voted up/down on the others over a year ago, and thats why i couldn't click... ok thumbs down starts now lol.... great quiz though :)

	This quiz is too UK-centric. (Sorry, I had to say it!)

	zeppelinoid:	Oct 15th, 2011 at 09:26 GMT		2 points
	Nice idea. Really confused by the "line in London". Surely a queue is a queue anywhere? Why is London special? Quartz is generally pronounced "kortz" rather than "kwortz". "To quell" does not mean "to kill" it means "to suppress".

	That was really fun. Nice job.

	zeppelinoid: not sure where you live, but where I come from quartz is always pronounced "kwortz"; agree about the "line in London" comment though...I spent ages trying to think of an underground line beginning with q! Oh and BrokenBahamut, a quince is a fruit, same family as an apple or a pear. Bitter flesh, apparently but very nice cooked.

	agree that the "line in london" is confusing, especially if you're british, it just makes you think of tube lines

	I'll join everyone in the "trying to think of a Tube line beginning with Q" corner (cworner?). I imagine that the clue is intended to mean "'line' in British English" (I don't know whether the word 'queue' is used in the US or not) - but if so, why doesn't it say that? Why should a queue necessarily be in London rather than Birmingham, Manchester or Milton Keynes for that matter?

	Love the Ralph Wiggum reference on the home page. (Me fail English. Thats unpossible!)

	euph777:	Oct 15th, 2011 at 13:11 GMT		16 points
	In the US, most people (that I know anyway) know what "queue" means but we never actually use that word; we just call it a "line".

	zeppelinoid:	Oct 15th, 2011 at 13:43 GMT		10 points
	We Brits have learnt something today. I am amazed that I have never realised that US English does not use the term "to queue" despite a lifetime of US films, TV and literature and even having spent several months working in the US. I have only just discovered that the US term is "standing in line". I suspect that the confusion is that this phrase means something different to us, i.e. standing in a horizontal line. Queueing etiquette is fundamental to the British way of life due to war time rationing and living in an urbanised and very over-crowded country. We have always been aware that foreigners are not very good at queueing. Perhaps this is because thay do not understand us when we ask them to join the back of the queue? (I also note that the term is French in origin meaning tail and only became common parlance towards the end of 18th century after US independence).

	With regards to the "queue" clue - that's a really common way that crossword clues are worded (using a city to be representative of the whole). For instance, if the intended answer was "ami", a clue might read "A friend, in Paris." So you're supposed to deduce that Paris is in France, so they must want the French word for friend. I guess from doing so many crossword puzzles, I knew instantly that "Line in London" was looking for the British term for line.

	Queue has started to creep its way into American English, at least with Netflix - you put movies you'd like to watch in the future in your "queue"

	I go on Woozworld.com. Fun Site. Strangely though, they say queue, rather than line or waiting list.

	could also have done Quabble -> wobble, quicker -> wicker, Quartermaine -> watermain (lol)...

	@Lindsay probaly not the best idea to use such a clue when London has such a well known set of 'lines' associated with it

	often heard that someone gets a "bit" part in a movie or play production, couldn't that work for the smallest part?

	pumpkinking0192:	Oct 15th, 2011 at 16:59 GMT		4 points
	@kittym What world do you live in where "qbit" is a word?

	Zeppelinoid - 'I also, in common with most Britons, pronounce "quarter" as "kawter" rather than "kwawter"' What? I am from Britain and I can't think of a single person who says "kawter". Maybe this is just a London pronunciation, but I'm not convinced.
