    i know language shifts over time but i am being tormented by a new discovery: "queue line". as in, "here's a look at the queue line for the ride".

    folks, it's either a queue, or a line, right? "queue line" is super redundant, right? help me out here —👴🏻

    @cabel I would say that was a compromise invention, so that both Brits and Yanks will be able to understand?

            @cabel It's a line for queueing, duh.

            Or maybe it's a line where you can wait to have your hair braided?

              @cabel see because “queue line” is perfectly compatible with *both* British English and American English. the problem has been solved!

                  @cabel I usually only see this in the use of acronyms. That's nails on a chalkboard, right there.

                                  @cabel The other language shift that Americans have been confusing me in the last decade or two, is using “I” where it should be “me”.
                                  As in: “She spoke with Cabel and I”

                                    @cabel I guess you could have a queue without a line? Like in a take-a-number system at a deli?

                                          i know language shifts over time but i am being tormented by a new discovery: "queue line". as in, "here's a look at the queue line for the ride".

                                          folks, it's either a queue, or a line, right? "queue line" is super redundant, right? help me out here —👴🏻
