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 😅
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”
