556. No W For ItaliansTo: sam@rinkworks.com
Subject: languages Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2008, at 22:24:52 Hello, Why do English call the letter w, a double u. Actually the letter w is a double v (w)? So a v is a single u? But what is a u then? The French call the letter w, a double v. Secondly: Italian is a beautiful language. Still they use 5 letters less of the alphabet. The Italians do not need the letters j, k, w, x en y. So with 21 letters they can make themselves very clear. Regards |
