>>	Anonymous Fri Apr 2 07:09:37 2021 No.17926360 >>17925800 >>17926265 that's because the english name predates v and u being different letters instead of two ways to write the same letter. >>17925674 have you written w by hand before lol? lowercase is clearly more like uu.

>>	Anonymous Fri Apr 2 07:11:44 2021 No.17926366 >>17926360 also v/u was never originally used as a consonant in english. f covered v. only in loanwords and later spellings influenced by them is it present.
