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.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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

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

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 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 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.
