Thanks Boss, I got it
-
Boss drew me a little diagram.
He wanted to make sure I fully understood his plan: instead of both web and mobile apps, we will make just the web app.
-
I like how he could manage the 'M' in one go but the 'W' really is double.
-
@coldandtired To be fair, there's no
W
in either Cyrillic nor Latin scripts used here, so people don't usually write the character that much. It's also referred to as double-V instead of double-U (because that's what the shape is, you silly Englishspewers) so I guess that's how most people write it: as 2V
s rather than a single character.What was the point of this post again? Oh, right, I'm bored...

No, they are Us. They are written in Latin.

well, there is a reason it's called a "Double-U"

Your boss has attended the Weng school of whiteboarding and project management.
It is a common idiom for me to block diagram systems like that, X one out and say "Fuck that thing in particular. Remove and/or don't do it"
In fact, I'd swear I might be your boss except we have no mobile apps anywhere.

What is the reason ?
Double U : UU
Double V : VVIn French, it's called "double-v" for a good reason

I mean, it also diagrams the fact that you're keeping the API in case you change your minds later, but yeah

Lowercase w is traditionally written as uu where I live. Not sure about other regions. Only capital W has sharp angles.

i can tell you for sure that most font designers have pointy little w's so that means that silicon valley predominately uses sharp w's for big and little.

Many typefaces, especially older ones, have what one might describe as overlapping, rather than adjoining, Vs for WS, at least capital ones:

this is also true, and is completely compatible with my prior statement.
so NYA!

It's not called double-something in German.
It's just "We" (pronounced like "Vay" minus the y ).

So you have a really good speech-to-text system, and then intentionally mess up the spelling for us? How sweet!

It's more fun to do three lies and one truth. I am a terrible liar.
