No one uses the WWW. anymore. Most say just nfsunlimited.com.

And that is probably the biggest mistake I made with this site...

My intrawebs [C what i did tharr?] doesnt require www. before anything

You really don't need to type in www. before anything. Though when I'm linking something, I like to have the whole address 'http://www.url.com/' just for good measure.

its obviously world wide web..each 'w' has three syllables, whilst each word only has 1 syllable.

dub-ul-ew dub-ul-ew dub-ul-ew

world-wide-web

much quicker.

Yes, but you don't say "world wide web nfs unlimited dot net' when you're pronouncing a web address, do you..

huh? the question was which is quicker to say, I answered

It is obviously quicker to say the words. That is what the question asked.

I dont undertsand your point :/

Post by **GT3x24x7** » 11 Jan 2007, 11:01

The point is that regardless of which one is quicker, there's not really a choice. IMO, it's the question that's pointless.

amda1 · Post by **amda1** » 11 Jan 2007, 12:06

ahh yes possibly, it is rather a weird topic for a thread lol

The whole point of an acronym is to make it shortened so its easier to say, but in this case the longer version is easier to say than the shortened one.

Answer your question?
