I am fancy, so I say double ewe.

“I love sheep” ~ Richie Cunningham
Double yew.
Reilly: Dary, do you know how many dudes are jerking off to your girlfriend right now? Yew! Jonesy: Wait, I actually know the answer. Yew. Sixteen point one thousand. Yew!

It’s “double-you”, but if spoken quickly, it can become “dub-you”
Non native speaker, and both of those hold true for me as well. Unless I’m referencing a hostname with www in it; then I just say dub-dub-dub
I still stick the yous in there, haha
I used to, until I realized Moxie Marlinspike doesn’t, so I stopped for easier pronounciation.
“Double U”.
Or if I’m saying it fast, as in “www.google.com”, it’s “dub-you”
Dubya
George Dubya
Normal conversational speed: dubya
Enunciating: double you
Need to be unambiguous: whiskey
More like duba-you instead of dubya in normal conversation.

Doubleyou
When talking about the letter of the alphabet, I say “double u”
When that letter occurs in a word, it’s pronounced with pursed lips and full throated vowel sound like in “water”
“Dubble-you”
Not saying where I’m from.
Isn’t that a maple leaf though?
in english: double you in german: ve (german e, idk how to tell it to someone only knowing english)
German: sounds like “vay”
That’s something I’ve never understood about German or Russian. Both languages have letters that make the English w sound yet they have trouble with it? It’s not like the “th” sound which doesn’t exist in German so it makes no sense to me.
If you can pronounce the sound why can’t you pronounce it for w’s??
The German w sounds like the English v, while the German v sounds like the English (and German) f.
IPA of the German word “wir”: /viːɐ̯/
IPA of the English word “with”: /wɪθ/
I actually had to look it up, but in German the /w/ sound doesn’t really exist? In some dialects the “qu” string is pronounced as /kw/ [according to Wikipedia] but in most it’s pronounced as /kv/ - at least that’s how I’d pronounce it and I’m mostly talking in Standard High German.
Double you
Kansan here. It’s pronounced “double-you,” but my mouth tends to skip past the L so it sounds more like “dub-you” or “dub-yə”
I’m American, fwiw. Formally I say “double you,” informally I say “dub.”

It probably depends on the accent, but we say “Double U”.
