Wow, idk how I could function without that shortened version! Thanks 🙏

[u/Reformed_Hillbilly → u/bittersterling]

It just rolls off the tongue... Na po vo inter co!

[u/ruat_caelum → u/Reformed_Hillbilly]

It's like WWW's 6 syllables being shorted than saying the 3 in "world wide web"

[u/Abducted_Llama → u/ruat_caelum]

Isn’t WWW 9 syllables or am I clapping wrong ?

[u/Dicky_Penisburg → u/Abducted_Llama]

It's 6 if you're southern

[u/RaspingYeti → u/Dicky_Penisburg]

dubya dubya dubya. yup checks out! source from the TN valley area

[u/Namedthisone → u/Dicky_Penisburg]

Dubya? Like George W

[u/silvertealio → u/Dicky_Penisburg]

4 if you're nasty.

[u/polyglot-a-cracker → u/silvertealio]

And my name ain’t baby, it’s Janet…

[u/USplusYoo → u/Dicky_Penisburg]

Actually 2 if your southern. Worlwhy - web

[u/jordon4ca93 → u/Abducted_Llama]

I just realized that at one point I had to be taught how to clap. I honestly don't know how I feel about that.

[u/ipomopur → u/jordon4ca93]

I thought I knew how to clap until I took a flamenco class; turns out there's clapping, and then there's clapping

[u/Reformed_Hillbilly → u/ruat_caelum]

This might be the least efficient verbalized initialism in the world

[u/CocktailPerson → u/Reformed_Hillbilly]

That's a silly statement because nobody verbalizes the initialism in isolation. People only say the letters when they're dictating a web address, and what they're dictating is the actual letters.

In real life people just say "the web" or "the internet."

[u/Reformed_Hillbilly → u/CocktailPerson]

In the earlier internet days, it was common to say the www when directing someone to a website. Both in advertisements and in personal discussion.

[u/KarmaOrDiscussion → u/Reformed_Hillbilly]

That's what he is saying.

[u/0oodruidoo0 → u/CocktailPerson]

nobody even says them when they say a web address. back in the day when you had to type in the prefixes, you would say dub dub dub dot

[u/YikesTheCat → u/Reformed_Hillbilly]

Only because the pronunciation of W in English is the worst in the world. Should probably fix that instead of WWW.

[u/Pooperoni_Pizza → u/ruat_caelum]

Dub dub dub gang

[u/No_Doughnut8618 → u/ruat_caelum]

Okay but everyone i know says dub-dub-dubya and thats still technically more, but rolls off the tongue way more

[u/DantesDame → u/ruat_caelum]

I was always disappointed that "Dub Dub Dub" didn't catch on :(
