My mind was blown when visiting Sweden in 2002 and finding out they pronounce "www" as "vee vee vee" (not just because the letter name double-v makes much more sense than double-u, but because they were smart enough to shorten it in this case).
Since then I've pronounced it in English as "dub dub dub" and found people generally understand it. I hope it catches on.

- overthemoon 4y agoI do the same. It has always annoyed me that we have a 3 syllable name for the letter W.

- jwiz 4y agoIt's been a long time since I've said "www" out loud, but I always say "wuh wuh wuh" (like the first sound in the word "wood").
- kbelder 4y agoSeems that 'vee vee vee vee vee vee' would be more accurate.
