here's a weird thing about "www": in the netherlands, many people say the "www" out loud when mentioning a domain name, but then omit the dot after the "www".

here's a weird thing about "www": in the netherlands, many people say the "www" out loud when mentioning a domain name, but then omit the dot after the "www". they do mention the dot before the TLD. so a domain like "www.example.nl" would be pronounced as "wwwexample.nl". to be clear, this is not something incidental. you hear it in radio and tv commercials. there might be a relation with age, with older people forgetting the "." after "www" more often.
