Challenge: Rename "w"
Thinking through the list of letters in the English alphabet, there is one letter whose name sticks out as different from the rest--"w". Whereas all of the other letters use some pronunciation of said letter in their name, "double-u". Also, its three syllables are needlessly expensive (time/effort) and are often butchered.
Wikipedia reports common abbreviations of the name, such as "dub-u" and even "dub".
Challenge: agree upon a new name for the letter "w" that (a) uses the letter, and (b) requires fewer than three syllables (preferably only one).
