I kinda know what you are getting at - if you dictate a word by pronouncing each letter separately you need to add stuff to each one to make it stand out - but Jesus Christ, what a question.
Hodoubleu is the doublueather today? Only a fedoubleu oubleuhite clouds in a clear blue sky.
Thanks for making me laugh!
Edit: in German it is pronounced “we”, with the e like in ketchup.
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.
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!
They’re probably pronouncing it as “Double-U”…
How else is it pronounced?
Like … Have you ever read a word with w in it?

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)

You don’t pronounce “we” as “double ue” do you?
