h-t-t-p-colon-backslash-backslash-doubleyou-doubleyou-doubleyou-dot... I've heard people say "backslash" when they insist on reading out the whole URL with protocol, which I'm pretty sure is the wrong slash, I honestly don't know, but I've never understood why people felt the need to say it at all. Do they type the protocol into the address bar when they visit sites?
