“Poor Q”

I have always felt sorry for the letter Q.

Why?

Because none of the conventional rules apply.

It can never stand alone in any word without the letter U next to it, as if it is incompetent of holding it’s own position.

It does not matter where it is placed. Whether it is silent or heard, the letter U is forever the annoying guardian.

The letter Q may as well be wearing an ankle braclet or on parole with the letter U as it’s permanent parole officer.

I have always felt this way as long as I can remember.

That is why Q is my favorite letter. I respect the fact that it does it’s job regardless of being treated unfairly compared to any other letters.

Without compaint!
