It's just a stylized W. It's not pronounced Vitch. You don't look smarter for putting 2 V's like you're is some secret club. It's like if people superscripted the 3 whenever talking about Alien 3. It's not Alien Cubed. Just be normal.

It's not a stylized W. In the 1600s, there was no W. It was spelled VV.

It's also spelled that way for trademark reasons.

That's not entirely true. There was no W in print until around 1700s. But the letter W most definitely existed and had been used regularly way before that.

Also there are two Japanese movies with English titles, literally written out "House" and "The Ring" in their original versions.

And "Godzilla" is as good of an approximation to the Japanese pronunciation of the monster's name as "Gojira."

No. It was just cheaper when printing things to use that than having an extra W "key". Eggers saw an old pamphlet that used that and though it looked cool.

Guys, stop saying Hausu. The film is called House. Hausu is Japanese transliteration of House. The name of the film is House. You fucking dweeb.

Hausu is a fun one. I always wonder if it was the inspiration for the killer piano in Super Mario 64.

I like how the guy pronounces it How-oo-su.

How did they say it. Like German W sounds like V right?

Today I learned. I've only read the name on the internet/other media so I had no idea.

Yeah, it's completely legible. Damn, should have thought about it.
