That's why I say "dub dub dub" it confuses people and I have to explain that it's www which is short for world wide web but I saved a little bit of time by saying dub dub dub......wait a minute......
Here in france, everyone says "3w". Pronouncing it entirely sounds like "Double V, double V, double V" so "3w" sounds like "Trois double V", which funnily enough, is still longer than world wide web!
Watching old commercials is hilarious. "If YOU would like to see our locations on the world-wide-web, visit our website on your web browser by typing in w, w, w, dot, appliance, dash, direct, dot, com!"
when visiting my dutch family I noticed how faster "vay vay vay" is, so I started thinking vévévé in french instead of "double v" x3 (btw this is a double u : uu)
I've said it out loud a few times by accident and people don't question it. I think we all agree it's a bit silly to pronounce.
To play devil's advocate, yes, "w" is technically three syllables in English, but they're easy enough to blur together. Meanwhile, the actual "w" sound is comparatively labor intensive, and "-orld" even more so. We're in purple burglar alarm world.
I think we should sit down and take the shortest syllable version of each word/expression from each language and combine them all into one fast language.
