Why letter 'u' always comes after letter 'q' ??

 I listed out some words starting with ' q'.

In all these words, 'q’ is followed by letter 'u' !!!



Queen  

    Quiet       

          Quit   

                 Quick  

                        Question 

                               Quality 

                                    Acqua


In all these words, letter 'q' is followed by letter 'u'  !!!



Q always never hangs out alone  !!!



Why ' qu  '  happens 



1. It came from Latin .  

In Latin,, q is always followed by u

When English borrowed tonnes of Latin words, we kept the spelling.




2.  English was influenced by French too  !!! 

      As French also used same letters, English just     k   e   p  t  it .



 

U  follows   Q  because  Roman and French people did it first..

We just kept the habit  !!!



We don't really use Q alone .  It feels wrong to us.

Q always brings U, thats how we learnt it  !!!



It is just a spelling habit, that we inherited   !!!

Bheja Fry question

  Question 


How many times in a day will the hour hand minute hand exactly coincide with each other ??



Answer 


Although it seems like it should be 24 times in a 24 hour clock, they coincide only 22 times during a 24 hour period   !!!



It's because the minute hand moves faster than the hour hand.


In a 12  hour period, the minute hand completes 12 rounds, while the hour hand completes only one  !!!


This means they overlap only 11 times during those 12 hours.


So, for 24 hours, that makes 22 times !!!

Why we must not use the same cooking oil over and over again ??i

  We Indians have the habit of using the same cooking oil that we used to fry poories in the morning,


Same cooking oil we use to fry papads as the evening snack  !!!!


                            STOP  !!!



Using the same cooking oil repeatedly can be harmful. 



Oil becomes oxidized, leading to free radical formation. This can cause cell damage and inflammation.



Oil could become ruffled with impurities affecting food taste and quality.



Some oils have low smoke points .  They break down when they are reheated.


This can lead to serious health issues.


It is best to use fresh oil for each cooking session.
