"W = double U". Why U and not V?
The “W” looks like two V’s, it sounds almost like a V.
Yet we call it double U, instead of double V.
Why? << hear, almost sounds like Vy.
Side question: The U being a vowel, which, when put together makes for a consonant, what other vowels can you couple, and what (new) consonant does that make?
