sadly, most people don't know how to use either one right, even if they spell it right ![](images/frown.gif) 11/8/2007 12:01:15 PM

and the Chinese hairstyle I just mentioned
there's no accompanying verb for that one, however

it seems like you'd just use "plait" there instead
to avoid confusion with the other meaning of queue 11/8/2007 12:10:07 PM

*applause*
We have some software at my workplace which is used to report and track problems, and the list of currently open tickets is referred to as the Queue. It pisses me off to no end whenever I see stuff like "I put a call in the que", "ticket was moved to the XXX cue", or, even better, "do you have the Q open?"
It's an oddly spelled word, but it's not that hard, folks. And it's not a fucking single letter. 11/8/2007 1:06:28 PM
