I'm not sure that's a dyslexia-specific thing. Back when the web started getting mainstream traction and it was notable to see URLs in TV commercials (ca 1994–5), I remember roughly half of the radio ads that mentioned URLs would say, “h-t-t-p-colon-backslash-backslash…”

Browsers quickly started silently fixing inappropriate backslashes, so people never had to learn which was which.
