I <3 Tumblr

You know, “www” is probably the most awkward three letter combination imaginable. It’s almost impossible to say out loud without stumbling.

I’ve always found it funny that saying “www” aloud is much more cumbersome, and involves more syllables, than just saying “world Wide web”.

Well, not always

When I must communicate “www” verbally, I’ve adopted the practice of saying “dub-dub-dub.” But actually, I don’t find myself having to say it that much lately.

Give that a try and please let me know your results.
