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
