    It was a poor explanation. Double you has 3 syllables so it has nine all up vs 3. So it takes 3 times as long. I don’t think it was about the time but the ease of saying it. World Wide Web is a bit annoying to say

      (Happy cake day! )

      Yes it is, but why not just say the sound of the letter?

      Way-way-way / wee-wee-wee / wuh-wuh-wuh ?

      Even the dub-dub-dub someone else suggested would work.

      No wonder everyone dropped the www. from their urls ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
