Subject: BS: Pronunciation of www
Hi,

as a non-native-English speaker I wonder how you pronounce the www (as it is found in many web addresses - e.g. www.mudcat.org)

A single w in English is pronounced double-u - in German it is pronounced "we" (about the same as "wet" without the "t", so we say "we-we-we")

So if you tell someone a web address, do you say:

double-u double-u double-u dot whatever

or

triple double-u dot whatever

or

sixtuple-u dot whatever

or

3 times double-u dot whatever

or

do you use something else (if so, what)?


TIA,
Andy/MudGuard
