W ( double u ) has , of all the letters in our alphabet , the only cumbrous name , the names of the others being monosyllabic .
w(意为两个u,读音为打不溜)是我们字母表中唯一有笨重名称的字母,其它的字母名都是单音节的。
But old english speakers weren 't all that stupid and they quickly figured out how " cumbrous " this new letter w was so they pitched it and replaced it with another new letter with the same function .
