hey I can do that to

W​


also, pronounce A (as in cage) with the ch (as in choke).

Aytch

Age

It's VERY MUCH ALIKE. Still goddamn ******** when I never heard an H in a word sound like that lol
The orgin of the letter is what I showed you, in which case it looks like a double u. People got lazier over time so it evolved into the more common "w" we know.

Similar sound != the same

But I do agree, it is ******** how we pronounce it standalone.

In many languages, its name literally means "double vee": Spanish doble ve (though it can be spelled uve doble),[5][note 1] French double vé, Icelandic tvöfalt vaff, Czech vé dvojitě, Finnish kaksois-vee, etc.

Scribal realization of the digraph could look like a pair of Vs whose branches crossed in the middle. An obsolete, cursive form found in the nineteenth century in both English and German was in the form of an "n" whose rightmost branch curved around as in a cursive "v".[citation needed] The shift from the ligature ‹vv› to the distinct letter ‹w› is thus gradual


Looks like its origin was the v.

That can't be right though. I always pronounced W as "doble u" in spanish, and so did every other citizen when I was in the caribbeans at a young age.

Edit--

Asked my mom. Turns out it's another way to pronounce it.

even though some of my exams(and more this year) are open book i still spend about that much time hitting reviews. So we'll see how that goes.

yep lol.
last year i lost bout 7 pounds because week before mid term exams was all work periods and i was done so i woke up at 7, did nothing till bout 9 then hit it till about 5:30 took a break til 7:00 then hit it again till about 9:30 then spent the rest of the evening doing nothing. Mainly cuz if i already now the stuff then it being open book means i only need to look for stuff to use as reference or something i missed by accident.

Hey guys has anyone ever heard of or played Runescape before? I just found it today. A lot of people at my school play. It's really cool you can like train and go into the wild and battle people and stuff. I really want to get membership so I can get stronger and do more stuff.

Also I tried that League of Legends game and it sucks really bad.

Yeah, if you can't tell, then it isn't sarcastic. Zen, I've been taking a break from RS, but I usually spend my Wednesday mornings questing since I'm don't have class until 1.

If you need help power leveling, hmu. Gotta get member though. Game sucks without it.

I know I'm late, but worst letter in any alphabet is definitely pronounced "Ypsilon"

Why would this ever be used in a word ever?

:ohwell:

that's the name of the letter... not how you'd say it in a word

i'm told it's pronounced 'ee' as in 'free'.
