‘W’ is a unique letter developed by Germanic speakers to fill a gap in the Latin alphabet. Because There was no letter to represent the /w/ sound. Long ago u and v were used interchangeably. And scribes thought the u and v sounds were the closest to the /w/ sound so they used double u’s a double v’s to represent the sound. This double u or v eventually became what we know today as but the name, “double-u,” stuck. #tiktoklearningcampaign #LearnOnTikTok #teachertok #spelling #teachers
