The Misunderstood Q

Can you list all the words that have the letter 'Q' in them?

Easy!

Quick
Quite
Quiet
 Questions
MosQue
MosQuitoe
Quality
SeQuel
FreQuent
SQuash
SQuish

.
.
.
bla.. bla.. bla..
.
.
.
.
Okay2..  that's enough.
.
.
.
listing all the words with Q is not exactly what I want you to do..
but.. can you notice the pattern?
or the rule when you use the letter Q in a word?

Quick

SeQuel

FreQuent.. ect


 In English;
the letter Q can't stand alone in a word, it must be followed by the letter U.
U never left Q
always stick together like best friends
U love Q secretly but Q never realized that..

Ok, cut the crap!


However, this doesn't apply to the words in other languages.

Especially, my name.

FAIQAH
not 
FAIQUAH


People in UK always mispronounce my name as 'Faiquah' because of the 'QU-bestfriend' rule.
Faiquah?? er... I don't like it, doesn't sound cute at all.

ta...^^
