It never occured to me either though, that english speakers don't use that. Maybe some do [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] |
for the very reason you described, I really doubt anyone would say "W-E" in english. the only way I could see it happening is if it becomes an internet shorthand first, then breaks its way into real speech - like people today saying "lol," or even going all the way to say "ell oh ell" (which pisses me the hell off).
