That's why it's pronounced dub-dub-dub.

I don't trust websites that still start with www.

Say "dubdubdub" or "dubbadubdub". "winwinwin" would also be acceptable.

To play devil's advocate, yes, "w" is technically three syllables in English, but they're easy enough to blur together. Meanwhile, the actual "w" sound is comparatively labor intensive, and "-orld" even more so. We're in purple burglar alarm world.

In spanish we use, "three W" as WWW xD

I think we should sit down and take the shortest syllable version of each word/expression from each language and combine them all into one fast language.
