have 26 letters .... I mean a "w" IS literally "uu", double u!
And, tripping back to High School, our Grade Six (1968)

by 's' in all words containing a 'z'!
words like "theorize" while the real English spelling is "theorise",
but thanks to the insidious creep of American culture in books,
movies, TV shows, software, etc., the 'z' will (and is) slowly
replacing the 's' in such words. Similarly the 'u' will disappear
