Queue and cue sound like Q, which is pronounced kyew.

I usually misspell pronunciation as pronounciation

Is dotting your i's tittilating?

I always thought it was "titie"

I could be wrong, but I think a jot is the middle slash for lowercase Ts and Fs.

For those learning English I always wondered if there was an extensive list of English slang with all the various ways the word "fuck" is used

You absorbe the slang mostly by watching popular media and listening to pop music.

enlish swearing is too simple for that

World seems to learn English pretty well enough 🤷‍♀️
