This question has been plaguing my mind for many, many years. Thanks for asking it...I voted "Double-U." AKA the proper way.

But seriously...what in god's name made you think of this? haha.

Double-U of course.

Because anyway it IS a double U. Because back in the day in the Latin alphabet the u was written as a V.

It depends for me. I know that double-u is right and when I take my time to annunciate things, I'll pronounce it that way, but if I'm talking casually more often than not it slips to dub-u.
