Like Tyler Cowen for the C-students

Queue

2011-03-26
No English word has a higher consonant-to-vowel ratio than "Queue."  A friend pointed this out a few years ago, without missing a beat, after I'd remarked that "Sequoia" has a pretty high ratio.

My Netflix Queue is empty, and upon notifying some friends of this I received a really nice list from one of them containing a couple dozen of her favorite under-rated movies.  My question is this:  why, in 2011, did I have to search for each of them individually on Netflix and add each one manually to my queue?  Why couldn't I just past the list into their search box, get a results page with all of them listed, and then check off the ones I want to add to my queue?
