www.wtf??

You know what bugs me about the internet?

It's how all internet addresses start with www. Never mind that w is one of the more complicated letters to say, now we have three of them in a row, and we have to say them every time we talk about the internet!

And in case you weren't aware, the internet contains pretty much everything in the world, ever, so we talk about it quite a lot.

The three w's in www actually stand for world wide web. Think about that for a second.

So, in essence, we say www as it's short for world wide web.

Say both of those out loud.

www. World wide web.

Which was faster to say? Saying the letter W, it has three syllables. Times that by the three times you have to say it and that makes nine syllables.

World wide web has a total of three syllables, so every time we say www we're wasting six syllables.

You know what you can do with six syllables? Not to mention the extra time it take to say them? There must be something. Think for yourselves!

Just because some nerd in silicon valley decided it should be said www, doesn't mean we have to go along with this lie!

Rise up my good people!

There aren't many things worth causing a revolution these days but surely this is one of them!
