Ok so is it just me or has anyone else thought of it this way…
Who was stupid enough to think that ‘www’ was a shortened version of ‘world wide web’? Think about it… There are more syllables in ‘www’ and it is actually harder to say…

Wellllll it it quicker to type “www” then “world wide web.” They were probably thinking along those lines.

Yeah, I thought of that too.

You could pronounce it WoWoW — only 2 syllables.
People tend to say, “the net” rather than “the w w w”.
now its just become assumed when you write a URL unless said otherwise in my opinion/experience watever but that is interesting that sayin it is longer but then who says that regularly
or you could just say world wide web when you say it
But I do see your point, Mez, it’s all wrong from the start, maybe if you email the guy in charge he’ll fix it.
You could always go back in time and fix it. Well, not literally, but you could think it.

Go to YouTube and type OVER NINE THOUSSSAAANNNDDD!!!
A Dragon Ball Z clip should come up, with over 2million views.

It’s because her icons are all out of order. One who knows the secret of rearranging their icons is granted superpowers.
you all are crazy and are putting way to much thought into this.

It is an important letter on some playing cards — see -> http://www.tarotteachings.com/images/…

Your logic is invalid.

W for water?
Yes, like you cast a net in the sea.
The alphabet might be a little easier to use with only 25 letters. Then it’s divisible into 100, the square of 5, and just overall convenient. “www” does seem somewhat redundant (it’s not needed in ‘help.com’), so perhaps a petition to abolish the ‘w’ would be the way to go.
Also so many questions wouldn’t need to be asked if you can’t do who, what, why, or where. So much easier!
huh, good point. I could invite people who might be more helpful.

okay, good luck with all this… I tried my best, but now must be off on my own pursuits. (I sent an urgent SOS to some brilliant minds.)

You’re human.
For example:
Mez - B, your human.
Bogdan - *Human immune system fails and dies*
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, he does that too often. Or I’ll *poke* him, his ribs will collapse, and he’ll *die*.
Elbow. You poke him gently in the elbow and he can’t die or turn it dateline.
Ok I believe you. Man we are so bored. I wish someone else was here… It says you are offline!
Well it’s been the most popular post for an hour, surely someone read it. You guys just have to say something more interesting or perhaps vaguely relating to the original topic if you want more people to join in.
Not if I say something interesting first. You’d be too stunned and dizzy with fascination.
Ok here is something interesting if you are bored …. http://tinyurl.com/axodkt

I was never into the whole chatting thing… Thanks for trying Michael.
I just got on here and didn’t read all the replies, but I do agree that www is kind of silly…especially since it’s not even all that necessary anymore. The only thing that I can think of is that it has….ummmmm…..visual appeal?????
LOL…the inventor just liked the look of w’s. :)
Haha.
1 - I don’t blame your for not reading all the replies.
2 - It is stupid when people say ‘www’ and not ‘world wide web’.
At least one more person can understand me! =]

That wasnt meant to make a word with its acronym.
that would imply that it covers teh entire planet, which it doesnt.
also, do you HONESTLY want to type “worldwideweb.help.com” instead of “www.help.com”?

I am saying that when we say it say world wide web and when we type it keep it www but when you say world wide web, people are like ‘What?!’ and have no idea…
who actually calls it the world wide web? has the rise of the word “Internet” not caught on yet?
You don’t say go to internet google.com do you?… You say www and when I say world wide web, people are too dumb to realise what it is…
Why do people insist on saying www when world wide web is quicker and easier to say?

It could be that it’s easier to say the letters because it’s repetitive.
in addition, most people just say “help.com” and omit the www, which actually works in most web browsers now. i never type www
you know, i dont even say www,
i give the site’s name and end it in .com
So i have no idea
