          My front lip is over my teeth when I say it, and it is touching the bottom lip.

            you can also form an /s/ with various parts of the tongue and mouth but it’s generally held to be an alveolar bladal fricative.

            That would interrupt airflow would it not?

              Not if your lips just touch lightly in the middle and the air flows around the sides.

              Maybe it’s a regional thing, but that’s also how I say that sound.

                  Yeah - I mean, I can say an f-word like “fountain” without lowering my upper lip and (to my ears at least) it sounds almost the same if not identical, but I have to do it consciously and it feels unnatural.

              You don’t purse the lips together, they’re lightly touching allowing air to go through

        They’re probably pronouncing it as “Double-U”…

            as a phoneme, it’s a bilabial approximant - meaning the lips form the sound by moving close but not touching and then parting again

            compare to the palatal approixmant /y/ formed by the root of the tongue performing a similar action with the soft palate.

        It doesn’t say “no opening”, it just says “lips touch”. My lips can touch without completely closing.
