      Ironic that pronouncing a single letter is more cumbersome than the full word.

          “Every single other letter is one syllable, can we just pronounce this one ‘wuh’”?

          “No, it must have THREE!”

            English is indeed a funny language.

              Germans: “Ridiculous! We will pronounce it like ‘vay’”.

              “Well, that’s a lot…”

              “…AND ‘Y’ WILL BE ‘OOPSILON’”!

              ಠ_ಠ

                  They do, but it’s silly when the vast majority of letters are pronounced with one syllable.
