Posted by Fytton on Tue Sep 7 05:22:06 2010, in response to Re: CANCEL THE W, posted by Andrew Saucci on Mon Sep 6 18:14:50 2010. 'in Spanish it's calle "Double-V."'In French too - 'double-vay'. More logical (given the look of the letter) than double-U, actually. But then French calls y 'ee-Greque' (Greek i) ! 'But "pee" ... must go!' How squeamish can you get (8-) ! However, I was surprised to discover that the letter corresponding to p in the Greek alphabet - pi - is pronounced 'pee' by North Americans. Brits have always pronounced it 'pie', which in scientific conversation avoids confusion with the Roman p. |
