A choir is a chorus of singers.
It comes from the Greek root khoros.
Although it comes from the old French word, quer, its roots are more in the present spelling.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Quer, not to be confused with those that make up a choir, queers.
And see, this it's why it's choir.
Thanks to dwarf fortress I know a quire is a medieval folded paper book
By the time I got paper things going, everyone was dying to were creatures. Did make soap though, if only that could clean bite wounds enough, alas.

R fully becomes a semi vowel same as U to W or I to Y, several grammar words get Shavian style abbreviations for brevity, and where french has accents, spanish has the ñ, and german has umlauts, the expanded english vowels have single dots the way lower case i already does.
Mate just use IPA, at that point.
IPA is less readable, also this is an orthographic alphabet, the true letter count is much smaller, and it actually gets even smaller if you use the "sloppy" version, which is basically just grabbing an Alphabet language Gboard for þ ð ŋ and ſ, using ue oe and ae as needed, and using u o i e a as you would their dotted (or undotted in i's case) counterparts and just hoping context makes clear what the literal text doesn't necessarily.
You designed this for GBoard?
That explains it, I guess...
Would you believe me if I told you that the dot letters were actually what made up the majority of what isn't in the keyboard normally?
This is awful and you need to stop right now.
Qit haṙcıŋ muı tcil bro.
Went through the whole thing expecting to speak German, was very disappointed.
I mean English is a germanic language, not too surprising how german phonemic spelling would look considering how much of our fucked up current system is owed to trying to make loan words consistent with their language of origin.
That... That is glorious.
You mean like a cuirass?
Curious the query as curiass.
may i...inquire... why you believe this?
Or in Shavian, 𐑒𐑢𐑲𐑼
But why not Quoir so everyone is slightly uncomfortable when reading it?
Why not just start pronouncing it shwar instead?
Or kor like in german
That's also a possibility
Why isn’t “laugh” spelled “laf?”
