Only one letter of the English alphabet has more than one syllable, and it has three.
We should have named it u-two or to be more shape accurate, v-2.
If you were wondering, it got named "double u" when u and v were the same letter, V was used at the beginning of words and u ain the middle/end. It wasn't till much later they were seperated into 2 glyphs for different sounds.
In German it's called a Doppel-Vau, with Vau being the letter V.
In Dutch it's just called wee, none of this double bullshit
In German it's V = Fau, W = Vee.
Huh. I learned doppel-fau in high school. Could it be that both terms are used?
No, I'm not aware of any dialect that does and standard German definitely doesn't use it.
No. Romance languages use variations of double V but not German
Can't. The band would sue.
And then would accidentally put music in your library.
