In French, W is not expressed as "Double U", but as "Double V", which to me makes much more sense.

However it appears infrequently in written French -- the "w" sound, as it would be spoken in English, is written "ou" (eg "oui"). But in French, the letter w is only really seen in loanwords.

As a pun hack, run together Us. I refer to my university as Triple-U A.
