No 'W' in Gurmukhi, so why do we use Waheguru?

LOL no ਵ in Gurmukhi or no V in Gurmukh? V I can understand and some write "Vaheguru" which is frustrating! 

There is ZERO English letters in Gurmukhi. You think you will go Taksaal, hope to learn Sankhia / Santhia in English? SGGS is not in English (though Gutkha come in English) it's a good start point but has ZERO room in terms of Santhia. 

I remember once at a Sikh youth program, one week we got told "Learn Gurmukhi! It's the only way to learn Baani" (some write Vaani which is gay). AND "English cannot be mixed into Gurmukhi." I AGREE!!! If you want to learn START learning Gurmukhi!!! Following week? SAME PROGRAM SAME PEOPLE - "When we write we're meant to write Jee ਜੀ instead of Ji ਜੇ ? Of course, Gurmukhi keyboard wasn't a thing back then but talk about hypocrisy! 

If English cannot be thrown into the mix then you can write it however! As long as we understand... (But Vaani with V is still gay) and I'll tell u why! Look at the sound V makes and read Vaani / ਬਾਣੀ. How have u pronounced the both? And if there's no V in Gurmukhi what's "Vaheguru" (or Vaheguroo)??? 

I know the above I wrote is hypocritical BUT STILL! A. Gurmukhi and English DO NOT mix. B. Stop using V and use W if you must! C. English letters in Gurbani don't mix! How you suppose to write ਛਿੱਟੇ in English? Or pronounce ਸ਼?
