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
