- pling 12y agoI've heard that but primarily with inexperienced users.
- grkvlt 12y agoI just looked at the Wikipedia page for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronunciation_of_%22www%22 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronunciation_of_%22www%22 and have never seen so much unsourced drivel in my life. For the record, I have been pronouncing it the way I described in the GP comment for the last twenty plus years, so that's some sort of data point.
