Lots of words start with W …

But I just saw something weird.

Did you know that W starts with D?

 

[Bleipriester]

Because this is a stupid name for W.

"Double your pleasure, double your fun. Go out with two girls instead of just one." we always used to say.

It should have been UU (pronounced like, “yew yew”)

 

[Bleipriester]

It should be vee, but it is used for V already. This is why the moron who decided on the English names ran into trouble naming W.

Did you know that W starts with D?

Yes. Just like X starts with an E but used in a sentence starts with a Z.

Did you realize that it actually denotes two "U"s and as such should be pronounce ooooooo?

 

[Concerned American]

Yes. Just like X starts with an E but used in a sentence starts with a Z.

Except in spanish where X can be pronounced as X, H, or SH.

Sort of. Sounds like “Car 54 Where Are You?”

 

[BackAgain]

Yes. Just like X starts with an E but used in a sentence starts with a Z.

I grok the E. I got lost at the Z.

Xenophobe.

Oh. Ok. I was thinking like “X-ray.”

 

[Concerned American]

Yes. Just like X starts with an E but used in a sentence starts with a Z.

What is the sound it makes in "exception" LOL, I can't figure out how to spell that sound.

I'd have to say an E, but really, here, the X is rather silent and you could take the X out and it would still be pronounced the same, right?

If the X was omitted then the C would have to carry the hard C (K) character as well as the soft C (S). Interesting
