- DavidVoid 4y ago> Because Swedish. IIRC, www is vee vee vee. I can confirm. I mean, the "proper" pronunciation is dubbel-vee-dubbel-vee-dubbel-vee, but we can't be bothered to say all that so we just say vee-vee-vee. I also think "double-v" is a better name for the letter w than "double-u" is.
- checkyoursudo 4y agoLong time ago in the US, I heard someone say on a radio show (maybe an advert), "dub-u dot [example] dot com," like the 3 W's were just too much. I think I have also heard dub-dub-dub dot etc.
