double-you
double-u
double-eu

for a paper...the sentence is "...prouncing his w's in the proper fashion..." but i got marked off for not spelling the "W" correctly...how do you spell it?
 
you... don't? I've always been told that if you're talking about the letter, you can't 'spell' the letter out based on how it sounds. You just put it's something similar to just "w's" but I'm not sure the correct punctuation for it.
 
That's ridiculous. I'd think to spell it double-you though, rather than double-u just because you wouldn't want to get marked off for not spelling out the "u" also.

FYI, you never use an apostrophe to make a word plural.

so then how should that be spelt? double-us? double-u's?

what i was trying to say was that when he used the letter W it was always like how stewie from family guy would say whipped.

Stewie just adds an 'h' sound to words in that episode. Which would make "w" into "who." Dude, you're not thinking straight - go to the ER.

It would be "double-u's" for plural.

im feeling better then i was last night. and according to my teacher the "wh" sound is more proper then the "w" sound. i just wasn't sure why i got marked off for that...it seemed pretty straight forward to me.

Nah, Buchanan and Andrew Johnson take that cake. The former for setting the stage for the Civil War, and the latter for effectively ending Reconstruction.

Well, reconstruction wasn't all puppies and rainbows, especially for the South. But I digress. You may want to add Grant to that list, as he was rather well known to be one of the most corrupt in office.

FDR, though a great president during his time, has brought on some long-lasting repercussions that we're dealing with now. He was, IMO, a bit too liberal with his domestic policies, but we still needed him.

Right now we need another Teddy Roosevelt or Andrew Jackson.

Hoover and Harding both kinda sucked too. Hell, Madison wasn't a very good president, despite being a founding father.
 
It's a bit different to look back and see what history has written then to compare what you have lived through.
 
Truman, without a doubt. Like a kid with a toy, he HAD to use it. And he used Muslim tactics in that he tried to kill the maximum possible number of civilians. And the kick in the face is that the history books justify it, at least in the states.

Georgie isn't far behind though.
