Aw, am I the only one who pronounces it as 'dubb-u'?

EDIT: Or rather, 'dubb-you'?

[QUOTE="JustPlainLucas"]A W is a double U, so I don't know how the hell you would pronounce it any other way. :?andyboiii
looks like a double V to me

In the Latin alphabet the U was written as a V.

So for instance the words where written as such:

INFINITVM = infinitum

VTOR = utor

etc

Why isn't the letter "M" pronounced "Double en"?

dark-warmachine

Because if you look at it... it ISNT a double N.

At best its a 4/6 double N.

Also its inconvenient as a name.

There are many types of hats in many type pf shapes. I'm sure that if I wanted to find a flat hat that was flat I could do that.

When it's just one W, I'll say "double-u." But if it's more than that, like three, such as in www., I say it like "dubb-u."

Double-U. Catsup and Seer-up minions just serve to make me momentarily homicidal...Shame on me, but my hatred of Rednecks runs long and deep...

I don't really get in to the 'double' part, with rolling l's or anything. It usually comes out 'dubba-u'.
