We're taught as kids to use line. People never say queue. I only read queue on the internet.
 
Sitting on my fat ass, drinking coffee, eating a cookie ... waiting for the hot UPS guy to drop my phone off. Like a boss.
 
Yeah being an Englishmen in NYC i quickly learnt queue has no meaning out here. They say line. Anyway, tomato, tomato - wheres my 4s?

Well that is silly. You should be able to say queue. If we 'muricans are too lame to adapt and accept then why bother changing your language. Queue is not wrong, it's just not what you hear in the states. 🙂

Who knows. Who cares. Now wheres fedex wih my 4s?!
 
As someone in traffic engineering I use the word "queue" quite frequently. Born and raised in Ohio. Queue is a pretty common word.
 
Queue is a common word used by many in America.

"Whilst" on the other hand I wish would be f'n burned at the stake, I despise that word for some reason.
 
I think the point was that queue was misspelled.
Hmm, could be. Seemed to me like the bigger troll bait was the offer to skip ahead of the queue on launch day, thus inciting jealousy and anger among the people reading the post, generating a long discussion, flame wars, etc.

But apparently a simple misspelling works too! 😛
