They’re probably pronouncing it as “Double-U”…

Like … Have you ever read a word with w in it?

I kinda know what you are getting at - if you dictate a word by pronouncing each letter separately you need to add stuff to each one to make it stand out - but Jesus Christ, what a question.

Hodoubleu is the doublueather today? Only a fedoubleu oubleuhite clouds in a clear blue sky.

Thanks for making me laugh!

Edit: in German it is pronounced “we”, with the e like in ketchup.

I vote we change it in English to be pronounced like in German. It always bugged me that it’s the only multisyllabic letter name. Along the same lines, we should rename seven to sev.
