Is the word &quot;Quay&quot; even used in US English?<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Quay_(disambiguation)" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Quay_(disambiguation)</a> gives quays all over the UK, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and Singapore, but none in the US -- with the exception of a couple of tiny <i>landlocked</i> towns in Oklahoma and New Mexico called &quot;Quay&quot;.<p>Are we allowed to call a mispronunciation a mispronunciation when it&#x27;s only pronounced that way by people who have probably never encountered that word before?
