Did You Know That There Is A Letter Called Wynn?

I was watching a video on YouTube about 10 letters we dropped from the English alphabet and i saw one called Wynn its looks like this " Ƿ " .When the English were deciding what the sound " whh " they though it could be two u's : uu but people thought it was too long to write so thought up the letter Ƿynn ( Ƿ) but people already got use to the double u ( uu ) so they created a new letter , the double u ( w ) !
And that's how it happened i guess . Bye!

 

I think this might be what Wynn is named after. I swear I heard Salted or someone say the name came from the old english alphabet or something. Nice find!

 

The poll confuses me.

 

This is literally where the game's name comes from.

 

um pretty sure wynn is old english for world or smth...

from now on i will only refer to this game as "w" and you can do nothing to stop me

 

now why is it called double u when it actually is a double v?

 

Isnt it ancient irish for world or smthn ?

 

This is now my favourite letter

 

In french we call w "double v", join the french team !

 

Isn't "w" in French pronounced doo-bluh-vay... as in "double v"

 

Yeah, I made a typo x) edited

 

Ah, yes. I wake up, come on to the forums, and get my mind blown. I'm going back to sleep thanks

 

And thus a new batch of terrible Wynn puns shall henceforth be created post-haste.

 

And if I’m not mistaken, the world they named when they were first starting off with their “MMO RPG project” was simply “w”.
