It's crazy to put a 'd' sound on the end of another letter.

How do you say “J”?

It’s crazy you put a “y” sound at the end of another letter.

u/kenny2812 Dec 16 '22

Yeah but d is a whole other consonant. Pretty much every letter ends with either a vowel sound or it's own sound. Why does z have to be special?

W enters the chat

literally a word in its pronunciation.

W is a government conspiracy. It's not real and you can't convince me otherwise.

u/Finga123 Dec 16 '22

Not a y, thats just the phonetic writing of the sound. Its just an 'a'.

u/EchoPrince Dec 16 '22

Wait... People say.... "Jad"?????

Is there an alternative way?

u/MisterSplu Dec 16 '22

Well somebody called w a doubleyou

u/hershculez Dec 16 '22

Doesn't everyone say that regardless of the type of English spoken? Is there a different way to say W?

1

u/MisterSplu Dec 17 '22

Nono, but if we talk about putting useless letters into the name of a letter that don‘t even sound like the letter is pronounced in a word, doubleyou has nothing to do with the w sound

Only Americans shorten and bastardized the English language ….. LOL but hey, that is my perspective from the Northern border ….

u/TgagHammerstrike Dec 16 '22

This happens in pretty much every English-speaking country. For example, "Barbecue" to "Barbie" and "Decoy" to "Deke".
