People in my old company used to genuinely say dub dub dub as in "double-u double-u double-u". Fucking dicks π.
It's the correct way to speak a URL... dub dub dub dot something dot com == https://www.something.com
Correct way is to double-u, not dub.
Correct way is to treat "www." as silent and not even say it or type it. Then if a URL doesn't support non-www URLs, don't do business with them.
Extra credit: block www.* on you pi-hole or other DNS filter so you avoid those sites that force-redirect domain.com to www.domain.com.
I wonder how much they paid to have that domain name only for it to only show the word "something" there
Ah crap that's what I say.
I'm only messing, it just gets on my tits that's all.
I never understood why it's called double-u. It looks more like a double-v. Most of the time, the sound in words is even more similar to a V than a U. There is probably some reason in ancient versions of the letters.
