Marisa Kirisame-ze Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Personally, we need it for the name Quinn. It looks sexy with that 'Q', and if you filled it with a 'Kw' it'd just look odd. Kwinn. No. But yes, it is pretty useless otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I told you, acronyms and names are allowed to have Qs, similar to how I can have an acronym using weird-ass symbols and have a name spelled as *(#&@2. If "quinn" was a word and not a name, however, we'd have to write it as "kwinn". And personally, "Kwinn" is a lot more aesthetically pleasing than "Quinn", but maybe that is because of my horrible bias against the letter "Q".

TheComposer Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Almost all letters can be replaced with a combination of other letters. It's just that Q isn't used that often, and you all be hatin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 In my opinion, Q is just eye candy. Words wouldn't look that good with a Kw at the beginning. But, yes, it's useless. Never the less, I will always use Q for words that ask for Q. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] [center]Then I propose the letter: [IMG]http://i53.tinypic.com/116tmvk.png[/IMG][/center] Pronounced truh. And would be used as a combination letter for any word beginning in T, followed by a consonant. If after the start of a word it may replace an M in a noun.

Deustodo Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Well, I think you are talking about the english vocabulary, but yeah in portuguese the letter q doesn't always have the sound of kw.

I told you, in the language of Pastafariano, the "q" letter makes a "chu" sound, so I could easily argue that "q" is not useless- in my language, that is. But in English, no one has yet proven me wrong that "q" is not useless. And time and time again I've shown examples of how "q" can be replaced with other letters that mimic the exact same sound. Trust me, I would hate to write [i]yo kyero[/i] on a Spanish essay, but I wasn't talking about Spanish to begin with. As such, would someone be so kind as to think of a single English word (that is not an acronym and that is not a name) where "q" actually serves a legitimate purpose? Thanks.

Kagamine Len Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 By the logic of 'Q' being useless here, so is K. it can be replaced by C, or CH. In fact, anything with CH can be pretty much replaced when it makes a K sound. TH can also be replaced with F or L, effectively. I know there is a difference in pronunciation there, but it's so minute I couldn't care less. You can trash half the spellings in the English language because they can be easily replaced with other things. The reason we have them there is because they are either left over and it doesn't matter that they are there, or they help us differentiate one word from another.

Glоrious Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 C is a useless letter. Basically, its k and s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
