I've never seen it spelled that way! I think my brother generally spells it souk.
Too many round of Words With Friends and cramped quarters with a Q in hand. Normally I'd spell it souk too.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Because books.
I am so making a note for future Scrabble purposes.

Here, have some more from my pocket: QI, QADI, QOPH. CINQ. Those are my go tos.

I do not have problems with the grocery store, unless I'm trying to find something and can't!
My BFF started snarking at me one time when I was visiting after I moved away, and we were shopping. She was all "You shop like my girlfriend! It's inefficient!" Apparently I tend to just wander around and pick up what looks good or things I know I use or am out of, and maybe if I see something it'll spark "oh, that would go well with...". Whereas she has a LIST, of things she NEEDS, and is planning to USE in a MEAL. This may explain part of why I eat snackfood (fruit! cheese and crackers! yogurt!), and not actual meals unless they are frozen.
[ETA: QADI and QOPH are new to me! Take QAT if you want]

And qat, too! Now I ... have to look these up. Although I assume cinq is the French five, yes?

I also make my list out by the order of aisles in the store, and then make a note next to something if we have a coupon for it.
No, really.
I'm only a tiny bit ashamed.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
When I was living in Philly, I would get just a little bit hyper when visiting Australia and going to a supermarket. I'd be bouncing around the aisles thinking "My friends! I haven't seen you in SO LONG! Ooh, Tim Tams come in Kahlua flavour now!"

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I am in complete awe of this.
I also get completely overwhelmed by too many choices. It's why I don't shop in large stores if I can avoid it - I can lose hours and still leave with nothing, or something I'm vaguely dissatisfied with.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I also make my list out by the order of aisles in the store, and then make a note next to something if we have a coupon for it.
I do this (my phone does it for me) and only get the things on the list and still a trip to the grocery store takes me two hours no matter how short the list is. ISTG I can go in for three things, go right to them and not look at anything else, and somehow when I get home it's two hours after I left.
