Get rid of the letter Q

The Issue

The letter Q in the English alphabet is unnecessary. It can easily be replaced by a k or c in most words and, if need be, a "w" or "u" may be added. Furthermore, the letter Q's sound can be spelled without using the letter itself - cue. That is just silly. And if you want to use the letter Q you have to add not one "ue" but two - queue. That is just outrageous! I petition that from here on out the English language forgets that the letter "Q" ever existed.
