Not to mention "www", which when pronounced is actually three times longer than its expansion.

Not to mention "www", which when pronounced is actually three times longer than its expansion.
- sheept 6d agoFor a native speaker in casual speech, it'll only be at most a bit slower than its expansion because English is stress-timed
- layer8 6d agoYou could shorten it to “sextuple u”.
- b112 6d agoGreat minds think alike, but my concern was that sextuple-u sounds like you're about to tackle someone and do something.
- chuckadams 5d agoPlus it's still cumbersome to say. But I guess "sex-u" is right out.
