God what an acronym. How do you pronounce that? see? ski? sksee?

I pronounce it "example".
That is brilliant and empowering.

It's better then "WWW" (a 9-syllable "abbreviation" for a

I always assumed "www" in URL's was primarily a typed, not spoken,

I've heard Americans say, "DubDubDub".
"www" isn't an abbreviation - it's a component of a host name. Not every web
site uses it. One does not normally speak of viewing something "on the WWW",
they say, "on the World Wide Web".
There are no keystrokes saved because there aren't any
"worldwideweb.seconddomain.com" sites. (Hmm, twelve characters, not
fourteen.) One might argue that they are 2 keystrokes wasted, since a site
could just as easily call itself "w.seconddomain.com".
