    Double V (pronounced double vé, so it’s double you in English).

    www is “double vé double vé double vé” in France, but often said “vévévé” in Switzerland. I believe that’s coming from the German speaking part of the country and adapted to French language.

      Same in Denmark. I think it’s only English that’s weirdly pronouncing it as “double you”, even though the letter “W” is clearly two V’s 😁

      Funny, opposite shortening in English - “double you double you double you” often becomes “dubdubdub”
