"Though"
The first two letters don't sound like themselves, and the last three are silent. The word is 83% lies.
80% of the letters in "queue" are unnecessary.
No, they’re demonstrating how to line up quietly.
Side note, I was a young teen when I first saw this word and it was in reference to computer things I barely grasped and had no idea. I was asking my parents what a qwe-we was because I could not for the life of me figure out how to pronounce it. It stuck with me for years until BBC content started coming to America, then it all finally made sense.
It would be half-true if we hadn't gotten rid of a letter (the thorn, which made the"th" sound)
For a long time, they used the letter "Y" instead of "th".
That's how we have weird relationships with old English words like "You/Thou," and "The/Ye."
“You” and “thou” come from different roots. They are not simply different orthographies like “ye” and “the”.
The word Through is just cheating at Scrabble
