Or is this just a tech industry idiom that I’ve been taking for granted…
- roryirvine 15d agoThough it does make you sound like a boy scout... Wuh works better, imho, though it does tend to degrade into "wuh'uh'uh" when said quickly. The BBC tried very hard in 1994/5 to persuade people to pronounce "http://www." as "hit web" - thankfully, that failed to gain any traction whatsoever.
- fdcjjrvdcg 15d agoI don’t know… I always had a soft spot for “hit web”. Makes it sound so cool. It’s dumb but I quite like it :D

- williamdclt 14d agowell, never heard that! And hate it, as "dub" does not contain (let alone start with) the sound it refers to
- Izkata 14d agoIt's the first part of its name, "double-u". H doesn't contain its sound either, and G has only one of the two sounds it makes (and it's not the one unique to it).
