        You could almost think WWW was a german invention, since I doubt you can say it faster in any other language

                  We also use German pronounciation or sometimes three-times double v.

                    In the Spanish dialect I learned we say "doble ve," so it's pretty much the same as saying "double u."

                      By sheer coincidence today I met a spaniard from Barcelona, who said they do indeed use doble uve doble uve doble uve punto...

                        And in Dutch it is similar to German: WeeWeeWee...

                          well, when we're in a hurry we say "wewewe", otherwise it's "dublu v, ..."

                            I've heard people say dub-dub-dub. I just usually leave it off since it isn't normally necessary.

                              no offense, but I really thought those lazy americans would say it like "triple-double-u" ...
