I even dislike reading the word “quay” because my first reaction is that it should rhyme with “way,” and I know that it doesn’t.
Easily the most traumatic thing I have learned all day. I have been mentally pronouncing it “kway” for my entire life. I cannot recall having ever heard the word aloud. I reject your pronunciation and substitute my own! (The life of a reader is filled with many such traumas. Rendezvous? Epitome?)
