Re: [Finale] Letters in lyrics

[Bruce K H Kau]

I believe "W" is the only polysyllabic letter in the English alphabet. I 
have heard attempts (by internetters?) to call it a "dub", but that 
doesn't work for me. Personally, I would keep the letters as letters 
except for "W", which I would spell out as "dou-ble U", to distiguish it 
from the two-syllable pronunciation that seems to gaining popularity 
(that's a joke, OK?).

Hey gang,
What is S.O.P. when letters of the alphabet are part of the lyrics to a 
song?  Should I leave them as letters, or spell them phonetically -- for 
instance, "I.Q." vs. "eye-queue"?  What about multi-syllable letters 
like "W"?  ("Dou-ble-yoo"???)  Is there a list somewhere of standard 
phonetic spelling for the letters of the English alphabet?  If so, where 
can I find it?
