- Mistletoe 4y agoJust realized how weird it is we call it double-u when it is a double-v. Language is weird.
- marginalia_nu 4y agoThe history of u, v, double-u and double-v is really convoluted. They're the same letter but also not quite. There are historical reasons that make sense as to why this is.
