    Pronouncing the letter, or saying the letter’s name?

    I get three for the former, and four for the latter.

      Pronouncing the letter, or saying the letter’s name?

      A, George B, Hollis

      But seriously, what?

      Pronouncing the letter - Ay, bee, cee

      Saying the letters name???

        The letter “B” is not pronounced “bee”, that is how you pronounce the name of the letter. It makes a “buh” sound.

        The important one is “W” because if you name the letter, “double yew” your lips will touch. If you pronounce the letter, “wuh wuh,” then your lips do not touch.

        The other letters are M and P, and your lips touch both saying the name and making the sound the letter represents.

          Ohh how it’s pronounced in words!

          If you pronounce the letter, “wuh wuh,” then your lips do not touch.

          Your lips don’t touch making w in wuh?

            In the middle? No, but if we’re including touching at the corners, then O, U, F, V, G, J, Q, and Y all join the party.

        W has a ‘b’ sound in the name, but doesn’t when used in a word.
