The amount of replies where people say "que" is mind boggling.
Stop wasting your time on video games until you've learned some basic words ffs.

Queue isnt a basic word used in everyday conversation, its a very uncommon word to write as well, there are plenty if words in the English dictionary that are same. So how about you go actually learn english.
-
What are you talking about? Queue is an extremely common word, we talking about queues all the time when we're at the shop, supermarket, bank or whatever else. What on earth are you going on about?
-
I have never once heard an American say queue in a setting like a supermarket or bank. Here in the good ole US of A, we say line.

I dont know what country you are from but where im from we call those “lines” and use the word queue when we go to a restaurant and its full and are put in a waiting list (in other words a queue to enter) The word queue is not commonly used, dont make up information and act like no one will call you out on it.
-
England, the country your language originates from. They're not lines, they're queues.

Editado por OneLeanMachine: 3/27/2020 5:02:34 AMBritish people are the ones who changed their accent and dialect. American accents are closer to the original British accent before we sent you packing across the pond. I believe the whole point of that war was also so you guys couldn’t tell us what to do anymore. They’re lines here and queues there.
-
And in the United States its called lines, if I have a couple friends in the UK and I could ask them, but its clear you would you make up a excuse again. By the way do the research of were English comes from a simple google search may change what you think.
-
I'm aware of the origins of my language thanks. Speak to your friends in the UK, you'll find they're called queues, we queue for everything in this country.
-
Well if you knew the origins then you would have known it was brought to Britain in in the mid 5th to 7th centuries. It started elsewhere.
-
Whilst that's partly true, there's a lot more to it than that. The thing is though, that's completely irrelevant to the conversation we were having, I was saying that Americans speak English, a language from England, it really doesn't matter where that came from prior to that.
-
I can quote exactly what you said but you will probably edit it so i cant anymore. You are trying to say that “well since English is from England i know the proper use of the English language” Although it doesn’t originate there it seems you are trying to say that your country is better then another and seems like racism to me.
-
Wow, this really is one of the most idiotic replies I've ever read!

Editado por Gilgamesh: 3/26/2020 7:16:33 PMYou simply don’t understand that the language does not originate from your country, the use of words can be differ by area. The word queue is not used in everyday conversation in the US and even if it is used in England for everyday conversation, does not mean that its used everyday. Overall you believe you are right because you think the language originates from your country (it does not). You are wrong when it comes to the use of the word queue and keep trying to say you are right. (I like how you ignore every grammatical mistake you’ve made and keep trying to focus on the one i did, even though you have made so many more)
-
The queue is used every single day in England. That's what I'm saying and that is not wrong. We are known as a nation of queuers. English is from England, yes its a mishmash of languages and has evolved over centuries, but English is English. To queue is an everyday thing. We do it literally every single day, to get on the bus, at the cash point, at the shop, literally everywhere we go. You are wrong. I am right. End of.
-
Ive said many times that English is not from your country instead of arguing it look it up, and instead of arguing with me about the word queue look it up, i got tired of waiting for you to make a good point and looked it up and i was right. Goodbye until you get off the high horse you wont get anywhere in life.

https://www.google.com/search?q=define+queue&oq=define+queue&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j0l2.3082j1j7&client=ms-android-sonymobile-rev1&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8 So that's the definition of queue that I'm talking, you know, the first one that comes up when you search for the definition of queue. On the point of the original source of the English language, you're massively oversimplifying it. It comes from many different places, it's many languages combined, it didn't come from one place. But my point is that's completely irrelevant to this discussion.
-
You looked up the definition which isnt what we are talking about. And you kept trying to imply English is from England (which it still isnt) and I doubt you looked it up still.
-
How are we not talking about the definition of queue? That's exactly what we're talking about. I don't need to look up the origins of the English language because I learned that in school, 25 years ago. But the origins of the English language is irrelevant to this discussion.
-
We are talking about how often the word queue is used. The reason the orgin of English is so important is because you said something along the lines of “English is from England so i know the word queue” or whatever you said about it, i could quote it but you would probably edit it so it said something else afterwards. And just so you know, you should probably google the origins of english next time.
-
Again, I'm fully aware of the origins of English. What I said was the language used in America (English) comes from England, which it does. From where it came prior to that is irrelevant. We were talking about the definition of the word because it was stated by whoever that when you queue for something, that isn't called a queue, it's called a line. I clarified that it is indeed called a queue and in England were renowned for queuing all the time, hence why the word is so popular in its usage. You've come in and simply embarrassed yourself with irrelevant arguments and I don't even know why.

Im done with you, you keep changing the argument stick to 1 thing already. You cant just start changing everything so it benefits you. If you cant accept you were wrong for this little thing then I hope your life has everything it already needs. Im not gonna argue with someone who just wants to be right, a example of what you are trying to do is, you say English from America originates from England which it does not, it would originate from were the language was first created (not England) maybe if you made the case that American settlers were from your country you would be right but that isn’t the case. As well you are trying to imply that your country’s use of the word overrides what i said about how the word is not commonly used. It does not because there are differences between American English and your English, if you knew that you would have asked were i was from first. Goodbye and i wish you well on your future endeavors (I dont think they will go well but have fun!)
-
Wow you're really an idiot. You're completely ignoring the original discussion and making this about things that it just is not about. You seem to want an argument and you seem incapable of accepting when you lose an argument.
