Yeah, Latin's weird like that because v is both u and w in the classical form, so when those two letters evolved out of it in the middle ages the spelling standards went to hell and my dictionary can't help me much. I cringe every time I hear tourists tell their kids at monuments that they spell shit like "e plvribvs vnvm" because it's too difficult to carve u's in stone. It happens a lot!
