Guido, you're hardly your typical non-native speaker. I think your English
may be better than mine. ;-) At any rate, I was thinking of some of the
posts I see on c.l.py where it requires a fair amount of detective work just
to figure out what the poster has written, what with all the incorrect
grammar and wild misspellings. For that sort of person I can believe that
"cue", "queue" and "kew" might mean exactly the same thing...
