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
three-syllable phrase.)

I always assumed "www" in URL's was primarily a typed, not spoken,
abbreviation and is 3 keystrokes abbreviating 14.
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".
