I completely agree...

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

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

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

[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.
