Is it a U or V?

isn't the v like the old Roman spelling of words with u? I could be wrong.

The letter U is a pretty new development, I think, maybe even dating to the 18th century. Same with I and J. I would also venture to guess it has something to do with W being Double Ewe not Double Vee.

This is a review from AMG...what exactly is farting electro-pop?

This four-track EP is a tribute record, all of the songs taken from the repertoire of the Chilean band los Tres. That's a pretty arcane tribute to make, in the U.S. market at any rate (and this EP was released by MCA in the U.S.), and in sections of the Latin American market as well. Were this the work of an emerging group, one would suspect that it was the product of musicians unsure of their direction, the songs combining aspects of romantic Latin pop, sweet soul harmonies ("Olor a Gas"), disco, and farting electro-pop ("Amor Violento"). It's pretty eclectic for an EP, but it's not a release that seems destined to endure as a notable venture, or even side project, in the Café Tacuba discography.

They have U's in Ancient Greek, although sometimes they are translated as Y's. I've not quite figured why that is yet. But they're definately U's some of the time.

Ask Ευριπιδης if you don't believe me. Or don't, he's been dead for some time.

Darrin, now can we get a lesson on Old English (not 800, but the language)? That's always looked interesting to me.

That's cool that you can type greek letters into words. Now let's see if you can do a whole sentence.

I afraid know nothing about English, Old or New.

Like almost everyone who attended Brannock High School my knowledge of English is restricted to the warped colloquial ghetto speak of the Glaswegian dialect.

BTW It nice that you always seem to respond to my posts. It's almost as if you respect me as a person. That's a refreshing sensation for some like me!

You live in the land of scotch, how could I not respect you?

Well, ειμι Βαρβαρος after all...
