A Query about "Query"
Queries are often talked about in my line of work, and it seems everyone in the office pronounces it differently, but here are the two main ways. Which do you do? I'm assuming it's regional, but it's probably just one of those "I always read it and never had to pronounce it out loud" things until you're well into adult-hood and wouldn't question it.
Shell the unshellable, crawl the uncrawlible.

Hmm, I actually say it like "queer-y" which I know looks insulting.
Heh, dittoed Alea!

Which would also make you afraid of Homo sapiens.Unless you're homophobic.
I've always heard and said it as qweer-ee, like everyone else here
-Because you protected this ephemerally floating world by your own hand
Now simply fold your wings and sleep restfully
Be wrapped up in an eternal tranquility, and love through all eternity
Sleep, by this hand of mine that gently watches over you
I remember you laughing, you crying, you angry
I will never forget for all time until my life is exhausted-
