minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•10 months agoWe should have named it u-two or to be more shape accurate, v-2.
minus-square@Arrkklink6•10 months agoIf you were wondering, it got named “double u” when u and v were the same letter, V was used at the beginning of words and u ain the middle/end. It wasn’t till much later they were seperated into 2 glyphs for different sounds.
minus-square@Hagdoslink0•10 months agoIn German it’s called a Doppel-Vau, with Vau being the letter V. In Dutch it’s just called wee, none of this double bullshit
minus-square@Hagdoslink1•10 months agoHuh. I learned doppel-fau in high school. Could it be that both terms are used?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•10 months agoNo, I’m not aware of any dialect that does and standard German definitely doesn’t use it.

In German it’s V = Fau, W = Vee.

No. Romance languages use variations of double V but not German

Can’t. The band would sue.
And then would accidentally put music in your library.
