Reality Check by Dave Whamond for January 03, 2023

Is that what happened to the greek i? WHY?

If it really were a double “u”, it would be easier to spell “vacwm”.

Well, the French got it right…

V = vay

W = doubla vey

Bring back the thorn!

I’m sure that there is at least one font that does have a double U but I’ve never found it…

Shouldn’t it be:

Double OOOH?

My Englishing skills ain’t not that great, so don’t be ask me.

Dubya.

It would be a “double u” when you use lower case and write it by hand though.

Vdub..trendy speak.

In MN sinners go to H E double hockey sticks.

The Romans are to blame. The letter V was also used as U. They wrote SENATVS – pronounced senatus but also VIA and VINO pronounced wia and wino. Double V in Saxon meant doubled U.

And some might pronounce it an F sound.

Letters should be pronounced with one syllable only (my own, grumpy opinion). When the internet became available to the masses, I was constantly annoyed by the use of www. It takes far fewer syllables to say world wide web. I’m so glad that www piece is now obsolete.

ya got trouble, folks!

Right here in River City.

Trouble with a capital “T”

And that rhymes with “P”

and that stands for pool!

( is a lower case “m” 2 upside down U’s ? … AND is an upper case “M” 2 upside down drunken V’s? … trovble I say )

Careful, I live on Waukesha County road V V, and wondered for a couple decades why all my neighbors did not agree it was W.

OK here we go. Most letters have one syllable. W has three. How many have two?

and I was just wondering why the m isn’t called double n.

Ramdom Musings:

Well, that’s what happens when you try to “design” letters by committee. Glad it doesn’t work that way in our universe.

Problem is, he’s not a man of letters.

In Australia do they eat little bags of W ‘n’ Ws?
