maybe we should make www be a new lettername, like triple-ewe, or maybe it should be hexa-ewe. although this is sorrta like when you tell newbies false computer terms.

I *really* like "hexa-ewe". Much better than the abominable "dubdubdub" the Gen-Xers love to use.

isn't that the tagline of the new "major" channel that has on all those Family of 5 type shows?.
Actually that's the first time I've encountered dubdubdub

The channel is something like "dubdubdubdubdub-ul-ya-bee". Absolutely, totally, and in all other ways annoying.

I heard on the radio a while ago that some company or other was trying to promote the use of 'hex-ewe' as the official pronounciation of www. I much prefer something like wu-wu-wu-doh-hhu-twu-jee-twu-doh-com though, because it sounds to most people like you're talking a foreign language.
