The Silent "L" in The Letter Double-U" - A Clear Case of Alphabet Letter Abuse!

Almost 40 years ago, Stanley Kramer made a movie called "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World!".
The year was 1963.
With a stellar cast of comics, including Jonathon Winters, Jimmy Durante, Jim Backus, and more (It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World!")

It was an hilarious film in it's day.

The destination for the treasure-hunters in this flick was "Under the big Dubbya" - meaning Under the big double-u.  Palm Trees growing up in the shape of the letter double-u gave the actors yet another opportunity to leave out the "L" sound in the Alphabet Letter "W".  

Please pronounce the sound of the letter L that exists in the letter "W".

And if you can, try to take some time to watch Kramer's film.
