* Words borrowed from other languages: Words like "weekend", "whisky", "watt", "walkman" are borrowed and retain their original spellings.
* Proper nouns: Names of places or people, like "William" or "Washington," may contain the letter "w."
It's important to note that even in borrowed words, the "w" sound is often pronounced differently in French than in English. For example, "whisky" is pronounced closer to "whiskey" in French.
