How Do You Pronounce 'WWW'?
Tod Wicks

Issue 01 (September 2003)


reveals the simple way out of this modern conundrum

We all know how to type it but how do you pronounce it? 

dub-dub-dub

As far as I know it's the only acronym that uses more syllables than the words it's trying to describe:

double-you double-you double-you = six (count 'em, 6) tongue-twisting syllables versus the three words:  world wide web.

I've come to simply use a shorthand method:  dub-dub-dub.  Quick and easy, most people understand what you're saying in context.

Let me know what you think.
