“Double U”.
Or if I’m saying it fast, as in “www.google.com”, it’s “dub-you”
Normal conversational speed: dubya
Enunciating: double you
Need to be unambiguous: whiskey
More like duba-you instead of dubya in normal conversation.
Tell me you are from the south without telling me you are from the south
I very strongly prefer dub, but no one I say it to gets it unless I explain it to them.
In Irish it’s called wae.
I’ve always wondered why it’s not double v, but I say double you
I looked into it once before, the short answer is because the letter predates the distinction between “u” and “v”.
Edit: Here’s a comment I made a while ago on the same topic with a little more information: https://lemmy.world/comment/10659648
In French, it is!
I think it’s because of how the letter is written in cursive that we call it ‘double u’.
I heard a guy call it a “we” and I liked that. Such as:
“ay-we-ee” (A-W-E)I’m blue
“double you” formally or “doubleya” informally.
“Dubba-you” is my informal; “dubbya” if I’m throwing an exaggerated southern accent
