How is that "abusing the language"? Please explain. What about nouns (default) that double as verbs (default).

(BTW, I haven't heard anybody who says "DEfense" say "DEfault." Yet.)

Many Americans have never even heard of a "queue" or of "queuing." Those of of who have are likely to think of "queueing" as the more "subservient" action. Perhaps it seems to imply to us "falling in line" rather than making (or should I say "taking"?) the tough decision to get yourself over there.

We usually "line up" or "get in/on line." Only then do we "stand" there.

To one who grew up saying "get/stand *on* line" (see an earlier post) "*in* line" sounds a little wimpy and subservient, because idiomatically when people "get in line for something" they dissolve themselves into a faceless group.

Not that any of it makes consistent sense or can be expected to. Language isn't logical. It's psychological.
