It has been brought to my attention that
the English-speaking world wide web is being bogged down by the fact that the
www abbreviation takes six to nine syllables to pronounces, twice to thrice the
amount it takes to pronounce the original word. As www is an ubiquitous element
that needs to be pronounced whenever a URL is given, the English-speaking world
wide web and the economies built upon it are at a serious disadvantage
competing with economies whose languages pronounce www as only three syllables.
Furthermore, the US being the world's foremost economic and cultural power, a
collapse of the American internet would precipitate the world back into the
Middle Ages, or at least the 1950s, which is the same.
So what is to be done?
In my infinite generosity, I give you
"three shrub," which is how www is to be pronounced in English from
now on. Now, at only two syllables to the www, English-speaking countries will
be able to easily out-compete Continental Europe and Asia.
No, don't thank me all at once.
