In Germany we have the letter U but we call it by the real name "Kehrtwende"
-
Just for context, the word Kehrtwende is not used often. Instead, the verb "wenden" is used the sense of "making a U-turn"
-
Is that the real name for the letter U? damn
-
Why is kehrtwende the real name? Doesn't it basically just mean "turn around"?
-
Yes it does, why make it more complicated?
-
"U-turn" isn't more complicated, it's describing the motion literally: making a U-shaped turn
-
Isn't it more like a n-shaped turn?
-
It could also be seen as the intersection of 2 sets. But you can't call it an intersection, the name is taken.
-
∩-turn

Not if you're coming from the other direction.
-
Doesn't matter, the driver is always the frame of reference

-
If you want to have to specify lowercase, sure.

We Germans are all about efficiency.
