You know, “www” is probably the most awkward three letter combination imaginable. It’s almost impossible to say out loud without stumbling.

Yeah, I can’t really do it. I rush into it and end up mumbling through the middle and end. And I think the trendy alternative, “dub dub dub”, is stupid.

So I just avoid ever saying it. I make all of my domains automatically redirect to the www-normalized form regardless of what’s entered.

Saying ‘world wide web’ takes exactly one-third of the syllables, but also achieves making you sound like 3x a nerd. But really, is there ever a reason to say WWW anymore? We’re no longer in the days of dialup where it may have been logical to avoid the risk of not being redirected.
