They also touch when you just shut the hell up.

I feel like double u is cheating since that's just b again.

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'd argue 'f' they don't press hard but they lightly touch

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 35 points 7 months ago (8 children)

W still leaves an opening tho

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 18 points 7 months ago (2 children)

They're probably pronouncing it as "Double-U"...

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

well it only touches at the B sound and we already had B so...

[–] bennel@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago (8 children)

How else is it pronounced?

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 months ago

as a phoneme, it's a bilabial approximant - meaning the lips form the sound by moving close but not touching and then parting again

compare to the palatal approixmant /y/ formed by the root of the tongue performing a similar action with the soft palate.

That's wrong! There are only three bilabial letters! P, M, and B. F and V are labiodental

[–] ji17br@lemmy.ml 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)
[–] grandkaiser@lemmy.world 18 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (5 children)

That's labial velar approximate. We don't say "bwatermelon" just because the letter is pronounced with a B

[–] kamen@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

doubleyouatermelon

[–] jpeps@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

You're right about how you would refer to each sound in use but the meme doesn't say that there are 4 bilabials

I don't know what that means but it reminds me of the movie Teeth.

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

I get three for the former, and four for the latter.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 7 months ago

I fucking checked, too.

[–] ChillPill@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

Saw someone describe the plot of Bee Movie the other day as: man cucked by bee. I cannot look at this movie the same anymore.

[–] Subverb@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago (9 children)

Only one letter of the English alphabet has more than one syllable, and it has three.
