when visiting my dutch family I noticed how faster "vay vay vay" is, so I started thinking vévévé in french instead of "double v" x3 (btw this is a double u : uu) I've said it out loud a few times by accident and people don't question it. I think we all agree it's a bit silly to pronounce.

...

I have an intense and fascinating life.

That's why it's pronounced dub-dub-dub.

I don't trust websites that still start with www.

Why not? (Serious question, I'm a DNS engineer so this is super relevant to me)

Anyone else not realize the swirls were part of a watermark and just think that was supposed to be part of his haircut?

When is it necessary to say www?

To play devil's advocate, yes, "w" is technically three syllables in English, but they're easy enough to blur together. Meanwhile, the actual "w" sound is comparatively labor intensive, and "-orld" even more so. We're in purple burglar alarm world.

Say "dubdubdub" or "dubbadubdub". "winwinwin" would also be acceptable.

true story. Just as many syllables as 1 W.

I think we should sit down and take the shortest syllable version of each word/expression from each language and combine them all into one fast language.
