[TheABELBOTO]

I thought K was supposed to be a harsher sound than C

Also if it disapperead how would you replace the CH digraph?

I was going to ask why does W exist.

It's the only letter in the alphabet that is pronounced differently.


A as in "Ae"

B as in "Be"

C as in "Ce"

W as in "Double U"

A as in "Ae"

C as in "Ce"

W as in "Double U"

yeah and it's not even two U's, it's two V's


and no before anyone says it it's not "duvayou".

[Lord Tony®]

The letter "w" makes no loving sense.

Why the forget does almost the entire world pronounce W as double U or double V.
Why not 'We' like normal people
And whats with double u
IT DOESNT EVEN LOOK LIKE A U

[Sylvanor]

It's the only letter in the alphabet that is pronounced differently.

In many germanic languages V has a very close usage to W, say "I vant a cupcake" and you'll see why. It's name is 'double-u' because in latin it was written as uu so that the sound w makes could be distinguished from the sounds made by the letters v and u

there's a wikipedia article about the letter "W" lol

yeah this describes it much better than I can

[Lord Tony®]

W is currently the only English letter whose name is not pronounced with any of the sounds that the letter typically makes.

I was literally planning on making a topic about the letter W way before this topic was made but I was beaten to the punch lol.

That stuff is old
We should modernise (is thay even a word lol)

[Gytyyhgfffff]

C actually does have a unique sound but it requires the presence of H to form the 'chuh' sound at the beginning of words like Church and Challenge. Without C there would be no way to make the sound difference between Chan and Khan.

i think we could live without being able to say chan

[Lord Tony®]

Why is M not "upside down double U" or "Mirrored N?"

[espio100]

i think we could live without being able to say chan
