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.

The time save when pronouncing “www” is incredible. 🙃

I sometimes like reading or listening to stories of people scamming scammers. He used this exact thing to really confuse the scammer.

“Please type in double u double double u…”
“Alright, I typed in double u double u double… It says page not found” (i.e. uuuuuu)

In German y is not pronounced as “why”, but instead as “Ypsilon”. You win some you lose some I guess.

More infuriating is “e” - it’s pronounced as “I” ffs! But when in a word only if it’s the first letter or something. Otherwise it’s pronounced as “e” as it rightfully should be!
