02:39 am - Spelling Question
Why isn't "vacuum" spelled with a 'w' (i.e. 'vacwm')? I mean, it's got a literal double-'u' in it right there (and 'w' replaced 'uu' in other words, 'uu' having replaced wynn (ƿ) which had replaced 'uu' even earlier (apparently they went back to 'uu' because wynn was too easily confused with 'p').
