It depends on what you admit as an 'English' word. 'Qoph', after all, is
Greek in origin, and archaic Greek at that. Arabic words, like 'Qatar',
for example, have no 'u' after the 'q', and I think 'Qatar' must count
as English.

someone off just using a dictionary. Now you've fed me another belt

But my real pet peeve is playing chess with someone who claims to
know how to play well and never heard of en passant.

"Cinq" is listed in the Concise Oxford Dictionary, as a variant of
"cinque" denoting the five on a dice.
Scrabble players seem to choose their dictionaries rather carefully.

I read in sci.electronics.design that Bill Sloman <[email protected]>
Maybe RH looked under 'q', not foreseeing an entry under 'c'. There
might be one or two other words with final q.

coq (au vin).
I read in sci.electronics.design that Spehro Pefhany <Spehro@Pefhany.?>
I think that still counts as French. There's also streptocoq au vin,
which is served as a main dish after smoked salmonella.
That *was* perfect, wasn't it? Gotta save that for my uncle theROTFLMAO!
