I’ll choose Barbeque because otherwise Barbecue would be abbreviated BBC and the Brits might get upset.Comment

You were the first shenaniganer that came to mind, PJ. -
Barbe-whatever restaurants should have vegan menu options!
Pineapple belongs on pizza
Non alcoholic beer is just as good as the other stuff
Having cable TV is better than using streaming services
Briquettes are better than lump
The new electric Ford Mustang looks like a pile of dog excrement.
Oh wait, everyone agrees with the last one....

Why is it when a knife multiples it becomes knives? I’d ask the same question about a wife, but I don’t know anyone that really wants more than one of those.
As for the original question, I’m spelling it barbexue from now on.Comment

While the standard modern English spelling of the word is barbecue, variations including barbeque and truncations such as bar-b-q or BBQ may also be found.[12] The spelling barbeque is given in Merriam-Webster and the Oxford Dictionaries as a variant.[13][14] In the southeastern United States, the word barbecue is used predominantly as a noun referring to roast pork, while in the southwestern states cuts of beef are often cooked.
The word barbacòa was thought to be borrowed by Spanish explorers and eventually made it's way to the modern English language. It is quite likely that it had some french influence before it made it into the English language which is how the two spellings barbecue and barbeque came about. The English word barbecue and its cognates in other languages come from the Spanish word barbacoa. Etymologists believe this to be derived from barabicu found in the language of the Arawak people of the Caribbean and the Timucua people of Florida;[3] it has entered some European languages in the form of the aforementioned barbacoa. The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) traces the word to Hispaniola and translates it as a "framework of sticks set upon posts"Comment

As of now (7/14 7:25 PDT) this poll shows me that approximately 1/3 of our fellow citizens can’t be trusted. Barbeque?! Really?
Hell’s Bells, even autocorrect changed my "q" to to a "c", as in barbecue vs barbeque. LOL.Last edited by Willy; July 14, 2022, 08:30 PM.Comment
