...but then they'd have to understand the concept of 'triple'

I thought they'd say "double-u three"

I usually just omit it, and if I don't I usually omit the "punkt" (dot), also omit the dot before the TLD. I only speak it the long way if I'm talking to someone who doesn't even have a computer.

Technoid vhat did you do vith our outstanding reputation regarding english?!

I just say "Dubya Dubya Dubya" and for years have argued why do they always feel the need to say dubya dubya dubya to every bloody url on TV... hello clueless people why not just say
(www.)thisurlreportedonthenewsissobloodylongthatyo umusthavephotographicmemorytorememberitcuzitwillon lybedisplayedforfiveseconds(.com)

DOH!

[Fat Tone]

and then there's the strange grouping that e.g. the bbc use:

I say bbc dotco dotuk
BBC say bbcdot codot uk (which just seems wrong to me)

Why give an URL to someone that doesn't even have a computer ?

It's great when people say the whole protocol too.

What says the EU law?
EU decided how a standard banana should looks like? EU decided the standard condom size.
How we will say WWW if the EU will have a chance to decide?
Dobee dobee do…

[Fat Tone]

A couple of years ago, there were people that thought the 'www' was obligatory. Our website didn't have this (back in 93!), and some people didn't even try: "it needs www, this won't work!"

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

I often say dub-dub-dub too.

Oh and Fat Tone - yeah, the BBC's pronunciation is wrong as far as I'm concerned too!

[Marshmallowman]

I usually leave off the www, but it seems whenever I read out a site for someone it always requires the www or it won't be resolved

triple double you
