Subject: W - How?
Written By: K1chyd on 06/24/06 at 3:16 pm
Grammar question time is here again!
If I'm to write out "W" the way it is pronounced do I write "double u", "double-u" or some other way? ???

Speaking strictly for myself, I'd use a hyphen and capital U: "double-U".

In most cases, that'd probably be the best thing to do. :) If you're referring to the current President of the U.S., that's another story. ::)

Yeah, in that case it'd be "Dubya." :P

The Capitol Steps are a novelty group that specializes in political satires. They also do monologues called "Lirty Dies", in which words are flipped around (spoonerisms), and GW Bush is a common subject of each monologue, so "W" becomes "Yubble-Doo"! :D I went to see them at the Lobero theatre in Santa Barbara early last month.
