How do you spell 'W'?

Good question!

Thank you!

 

Here's the answer:

Alternate answers for alternate folks:

-You don't - it's a letter.  Just write 'W'.
-What you do in New Jersey when you get really lost with all those jug-handles and under-over-passing confusion.
-You just take an M and turn it upside-down!
-What you say to your bartender if you have forgotten their name and are feeling a bit rude - 'Make it a double, you.'


This image raises an interesting conundrum:  Is it really a double U, or is it actually a double V?  On one hand, we say 'wuh' as how it's pronounced (roughly) so the sound is more U-like than V-like, at least in English (as opposed to in German, which is the opposite), but visually, it really does look more like a double V than a double U.  Perhaps this is because of the German roots in English?

So once again, we have tried to answer a simple question, which only leads us to a more convex conundrumation of convoluted complexity!
