    Regarding the latin words starting with a letter W the bot is correct. You asked for words starting letter and not with the sound W. All before you are correct all after i did not read :)

    As I stated in the comment, the relevant wrong piece of info concerns the sound. Latin does have the sound [w], commonly represented in English with ⟨W⟩. It’s the sound in the words volo ['wɔɫo:] “I want” and vvlgvs ['wʊɫgʊs] “the crowd, the common people”.

    The bot went out of its way to output that wrong piece of info, even if incorrect and contextually irrelevant.
