O is for OCOTILLO. I posted a different picture of this famous desert plant some time ago. Hopefully only a few will remember.

OOPS! We're past "O" and "P."

Q is for QUARREL ( Webster: n "2. a small quadrilateral building member [as a diamond-shaped pane of glass]" You better believe I've been reading the dictionary, especially Q, X, Y, and Z)

From my viewpoint, yes. I've used "zorro" with a picture of a fox, and "zapatos" with some dirty shoes. The former, however, is very familiar in the USA because of the fictional character portrayed in several movies as well as a popular 1950's TV show. But, include a translation. I can read French to some extent, although if I attempt to speak in French, it sends real Frenchmen into either uncontrollable laughter or screams of agony.
