I would say the opposite. From my experience technical users are the ones that insist on "www" while non-technical users just follow the general trend of eliding it and are unaware of what it means exactly.
- tester344 7y agoWeird. I'd rather say that tech users would use shorter version because there should be no diff between www/nowww
- gumby 7y agoWhy should there inherently be no difference?. They are simply nMes. I’ve had people tell me things are broken when I send them to foo.example.com and they insist on typing the nonexistent www.foo.example.com.
- feanaro 7y agoExactly. The point is that there is a difference between www and nowww. The only reason they usually lead to the same result nowadays is a social convention and those can change arbitrarily. Tech people are aware of this but non-tech people notice and learn this convention by association and might be (and from my experience, are) unaware that it is not a technically guaranteed one.
