Being Irish, I'm not sure I can answer that! :-) My preference here is the shorter "queuing" version suggested, and it was what dictionary.com suggested under "queue" entry. My preference is largely based on consistency with other words which end in "ue": "argue" -> "arguing", "accrue" -> "accruing". > Let's all use French, it's simpler :) > I don't think I have enough accent keys on my keyboard :-)
