All this fuss over whether Quebec should be pronounced
"kay...", "kuh..." or "kwee..." could be avoided by using
my favorite scrabbleword:
qiviut
...which is not only the proven economic salvation of hundredscore
arctic fisherpersons and a godsend for untold numbers of scrabblers
having a "q" without a "u", but also a refuge for all phonetic
pronouncers of "q" who can't bring themselves to articulate the
Canadian province in a manner replicating second-month high school
French diction.
