Pronunciation of places would be impossible, but everyone's geography would improve greatly if the entire world was like that. A logical person would say just use GPS coordinates, nope. I'm going to Ghdftpw

What's up with the 'u'? I get that the second character advances one position in the alphabet, that pattern holds until 'q' which is "qu"

That's because u is q's emotional support letter. They don't like to go anywhere without her.
It's a rule in English that "q" is followed by a "u". Always. Really. That's why people like Lovecraft ignored that rule to seem exotic
So someone decided to follow the rule, probably didn't even think about it. "Q" alone just seemed wrong.
Oh THANK GOD SOMEONE FINALLY DREW IT I've been lazily waiting for this joke for so long
