No one blinked at the pronunciation of W here? Is this acceptable in the US? Regards the rest of the world

Read what you just wrote again.

The rest of the world pronounces it out fully as in ‘dou-bel-you’. As you say, it’s literally a double U not dub-uh-you lol.

Some countries also say dou-bel-vee.

Oh yeah I think that may just be an accent thing or speaking English fluently and shortening words. In certain parts of the US, like the south, it’s more obvious and pronounced like “dub a you”
