Just joking, and I don't know. "qu" as in queen sounds like "kw" so just ditch the letter q.

Spelling rules are insane; however, I think I might be able to give you an interesting take on Cinderella. I believe it was spelled this way because it had to do with a "cinder" (a tiny bit of buring wood) and something in the original story. Now...why cinder is spelled with a "c" and not an "s"...don't know. Sometimes, I think spellings with a "c" were just easier in the early days. (Can you imagine trying to create an "s" or a "k" with a quill? Just a thought.

That is a good question. I guess it goes by the first spelling ever submitted.
