  [It] is desirable [...] that we may have a shorter and simpler term in stead ofDouble-u. [...] Dr. Webster [...] is not yet tired of his experiment with "oo;" but thinks still to make the vowel sound of this letter its name. Yet [...] IfW is to be named as a vowel, it ought toname itself, as other vowels do, and not to taketwoOes for its written name. Who that knows what it is, to name a letter, can think of namingw by doubleo?
