Message: [QUOTE="topogigio, post: 4840239, member: 5930"] You got me thinking about that ( snow day today with not much to think about after the G-Town game.) so I did a bit of research on it. Everything I found explained the U following the Q goes back to the Latin. The Q is pronounced in the English language as the /kw/ sound (as in quick, queen). Couldn't find anything about just the Q as the "K" or "C" sound. However, the last couple of decades has seen a change of the use of the normative English spelling in names; think Dru/Jru for Drew, there are thousands of them today. Just making up a spelling is now the norm. Fun fact, the letter Q is the second least frequently used letter in the English language (0.1%) after Z! [/QUOTE]
