W
the
twenty
-
third
letter
of
the
English
alphabet
, is
usually
a
consonant
,
but
sometimes
it is a
vowel
,
forming
the
second
element
of
certain
diphthongs
, as in
few
,
how
. It
takes
its
written
form
and
its
name
from
the
repetition
of a V,
this
being
the
original
form
of
the
Roman
capital
letter
which
we
call
U.

most
related
to v
and
u.

Some
of
the
uneducated
classes
in
England
,
especially
in
London
,
confuse
w
and
v,
substituting
the
one
for
the
other
, as
weal
for
veal
,
and
veal
for
weal
;
wine
for
vine
,
and
vine
for
wine
,
etc
.
