It annoys me how www. is pronounced in english. Really, double-u double-u double-u dot example dot com?

How else would you say it?

"Wwwwuuuuhh dot Google dot com"?

Edit: or I guess, "world wide web" would make more sense?

"Wuh-wuh-wuh", using pronunciation similar to the start of "wow" or "woman"
