The Letter "W"

I work with a bunch of "web geeks" (a term they refer to themselves as). I've noticed that when they are discussing web addresses they begin with "www...." Makes since, right?

Only, here's the deal (and I am on board with them), none of them say it "Double U, Double U, Double U". Why would they? That's a lot of syllables and they have a lot of work to do. Instead, they save time by saying "Dub, Dub, Dub" (sometimes they only say "dub" once).

That made me think. What would it take to officially change the pronunciation of the letter "W" from "Double U" to "Dub"?

The only real disadvantage I see to making the change, is that it would screw you up when you sing your ABCs...go ahead and try it...it's hard...are you trying? Get your friends to try...it'll be funny.

I bet Elmo agrees!
