Pronouncing the letter, or saying the letter's name?

A, George B, Hollis

But seriously, what?

Pronouncing the letter - Ay, bee, cee

Saying the letters name???

The letter "B" is not pronounced "bee", that is how you pronounce the name of the letter. It makes a "buh" sound.

The important one is "W" because if you name the letter, "double yew" your lips will touch. If you pronounce the letter, "wuh wuh," then your lips do not touch.

The other letters are M and P, and your lips touch both saying the name and making the sound the letter represents.

Wuh what sound do you think "W" makes?

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 13 points 9 months ago

/w/

as opposed to /dəbl'yju:/

Ohh how it's pronounced in words!

If you pronounce the letter, "wuh wuh," then your lips do not touch.

Your lips don't touch making w in wuh?

In the middle? No, but if we're including touching at the corners, then O, U, F, V, G, J, Q, and Y all join the party.

W has a 'b' sound in the name, but doesn't when used in a word.
