Change W To One Syllable

I think we should rename and change the pronunciation we use for the letter "w" from its three syllables of "duhble-yoo", to a simpler sound of only one syllable, just like every other letter in the alphabet. I suggest "wee".

What

  • Pronounce the letter "w" as "wee"

Why

  • All other letters in the alphabet are a single syllable
  • Saying the letter "w" becomes shorter and simpler
  • Spelling out words becomes shorter and simpler
  • Reciting the alphabet becomes shorter and simpler

Options

  • wee
  • woo
  • wey
  • voo
  • vey
  • vi
