Not only is it not pronounced with a single syllable, but it's pronounced in THREE.

Not even two... but three.

Also, it's not even an original name... They just doubled 'U'.



Weak ass letter.





Gaf, ITT we list reasons why letters suck...

 

[Barbacoatl]

He's a terrible poster.

 

[Dresden]

"I."

Overused.

 

[Cant0na]

that means Double U is a badass letter, all the other letters should fear it

1-6 is afraid of 7. cause 7 ate 9

 

[Apoc29]

It's more of a double 'V' I say.

 

[Arment]

Why have one U when you can have two?

 

[geeko]

that means Double U is a badass letter, all the other letters should fear it

1-6 is afraid of 7. cause 7 ate 9

no, no, no, just 6 is afraid of 7, why cause 7, 8 , 9

 

[Davedough]

Why did I come in here?

 

[Trouble]

It's more of a double 'V' I say.

In French it is.

 

[soyboy]

you must be terrified of LL.

 

[Souldriver]

Not where I live. There it's just pronounced Wee, a bit sounding like Way (but with no emphasis on the y sound at the end).


So yeah, just W.

 

[Gattsu25]

I once made a thread asking folks about the rituals they perform to shake their dongs after taking a piss and I was rightly ridiculed. I still think that thread was awesome. You better get some shit for this thread.

 

[Speevy]

and what about q? you have to combine the sounds of 2 letters to even use it. and words that start with x sound like z. what's the DEAL with that?

 

[WillyFive]

More like a letter with so much authority it deserves more than one syllable.

[LocoMrPollock]

I hate the letter D. Mostly because it allows people to sound incredibly stupid.

Dis
Dat
Dit
Dizzle


Also, fuck W for the usage of WIT.

Stupid letters, we should use switch to symbols.

 

[SnakeXs]

And in fake English Zed is the only addition to strange letter names.

Fuck Zed.

 

[Des0lar]

In German it is. It's simply "Veh", which is by far better than saying double U. It doesn't even look like a double U. It's a double V.

On the other hand, Y is "Ypsylon" in German so...

 

[Keyser Soze]

I hate B's

[Zombie James]

I never liked the letter J.

Also, Z is pronounced 'ZED'.

 

[Dali]

I'm slightly past 'em, like the letter 'N'.

...and that was at least the second time. Maybe I should have started a thread.

From the A to Z of Awesomeness:

 

[Alphahawk]

It's not even pronounced as "double U" despite the fact that that's it's name it's more like "dobayou"...

 

[HappyBivouac]

1-6 is afraid of 7. cause 7 ate 9

So this one time a guy walked up to me and he said "hey buddy, I haven't... had anything to eat in a long time" So I bit him! Wait did I do that right

Looks more like an upside down M than 2 Us.

But Upside-down-M doesn't have the same ring to it.

 

[OnPoint]

I hate B's

Me too. The Bruins suck.

 

[Warnen]

If W is double u why isn't m double n?

 

[Yeef]

but...

lmno is four syllables!

 

[scorcho]

i refer to m as double n, but saying that in public can be problematic.

 

[selig]

I always pronounce "W" like "We", which I realize is how you pronounce "V", but I simply refuse and am too lazy to say "doubleyou". It "We".

 

[user_nat]

If W is double u why isn't m double n?

Because double N would be before N in the alphabet. Which could be confusing when learning.

Really would ruin the whole rhythm of the alphabet song also.

 

[NumberTwo]

I hate the letter Y. It's the only letter in the English alphabet that can't make up it's goddamn mind on whether it wants to be a vowel or not.
