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

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

Anyone else not realize the swirls were part of a watermark and just think that was supposed to be part of his haircut?

Even faster to say Net

[–] JayDee@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago

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.

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.
