"Double V" actually makes a lot more sense than "Double U"


Profile picture = appropriate.

I already mentioned this trillions of times! Why is U used intead of V?!?

Double u sounds a lot nicer than double v

I made a 30 seconds research about it, apparently it's because it's taken directly from classical latin, in which the phonetical "w" is written as "v". For example, if you've played Fallout : New Vegas, you'll notice that Caesar's Legion correctly pronounce "ave" as "awe" and "vale" as "wale".

When Latin was first used in old English, the letter "v" didn't exist yet, so to distinguish those two sounds the letter "uu" was invented. Centuries later, it evolved into the "w" we know today.

Maybe we should call M - double h instead of double n then if we're gonna go negative intelligence here.
