Once upon a time, typing “www” at the start of a URL was as automatic as breathing. And yet, these days, most of us go straight to “hackaday.com” without bothering with thos…
In other languages, German for instance, it’s pronounced kinda like “weh” or like the letter V in English. It’s easier to say that way. Back in the day I sometimes said “triple double u” to not have to say it the actual, complicated way 😅
It annoys me how www. is pronounced in english. Really, double-u double-u double-u dot example dot com?
i like how saying “word wide web” is faster than saying “www”
How else would you say it?
“Wwwwuuuuhh dot Google dot com”?
Edit: or I guess, “world wide web” would make more sense?
“web” would have sounded nice and clear, we also didn’t name FTP the World Wide File Transfer Protocol (WWFTP).

“Wuh-wuh-wuh”, using pronunciation similar to the start of “wow” or “woman”
I’ve heard “dub-dub-dub”. But yeah, saying the abbreviation is longer than the words it’s abbreviating! 😀
My favorite part of watching WWE is the way their main commentator says “WWE”. You can tell he savors every syllable of it
Same thing in French. Doublevédoublevédoublevé. So. long.
