When I was in grad school, the “shorthand” system I used for taking notes involved eliminating most vowels, some consonants, and some syllables. For example, transcription was tcn, biochemical was bchl, replication was rpln, etc. – all were context-dependent. My classmates were a little perplexed when they borrowed my notes!

Can anyone here show a concrete example of the letter W as a vowel?

I remember hearing that but I can’t think of a single instance where “w” is a vowel. Except in Welch.

Sounds like Rita just invented the emoji text system, which those of us who don’t read pictures well absolutely abhor.

W is pronounced ‘double-u.’ Does that make it two vowels in one?

I have a question for you all to ponder. What about the work vacuum? Is it possible it might have been spelt vacwm? (vac"double u"m?)
