pronunciation

I've mentioned before that the way some people pronounce certain words (i.e., fustrated instead of frustrated, nucular instead of nuclear, etc.) sound like nails scratching a chalk board to me. But here is one that actually doesn't bother me. I've been listening to bar prep course recordings for the last couple of months and the instructor says duh-b'yuh when he pronounces the letter W. Every time he says it, I picture him sitting on a porch swing (it is a wrap-around porch, of course) at his southern plantation get-away home. And then I get jealous because I'm sitting in my little apartment, splitting my time between a couch whose stuffing refuses to stay inside it and a bed that is a little too "firm" for my taste (I switch from one place to the other in the evening after I eat dinner... just to liven things up). Anyway, I usually say double-you when I pronounce it (unless I'm referring to former president George dub-b'yuh Bush). How do you pronounce it?

Side note: I wonder why it is that the W is called a double-u and not a double-v. It looks more like 2 V's than 2 U's to me (unless your writing takes on more of a round, bubbly look, then it probably looks like 2 U's, but that is not the standard in most fonts or keyboards.
