@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?

"Queue line" sounds like an Americanism, designed for people who don't know what a queue is, and imagine they never stand in one.
Kinda like the script in the Great Escape, which has one person shout at the Nazi guards, about to shoot Steve McQueen's character for being over the wire: "Nicht schiessen!" Then it has another person shout in English, for the benefit of the German guards and the American audience, "Don't shoot!"
Here, the usage is more like, "Don't shoot schiessen!" Sad.

@cabel I might like this one actually. When the queue is a logical concept of a FIFO and a line is the shape it takes, traced out by people or stanchions.
Which likely isn't what was intended at all, so being grumpy is your duty as an elder.

@cabel is the queue line for the ATM machine? Don't forget your PIN number.
