It was like a troll-suicide bomber that walked into the wrong crowded market and exploded - killing all the wrong people. Still a successful outcome for a troll, though. While we're at it, the correct pronunciation for the letter "Z" is zee, not zed. Saying zed just makes no sense and is stupid and wrong. casts line, waits for bite

THAT is stupid and wrong. Also: abbreviating world wide web to www was the biggest mistake ever in the English language. It's the only abbreviation that takes longer to pronounce than what it's short for.

Don't the french call it a double V? Actually i'll stick with double U..... Yup, that's what the French call it. And we just call it "wee" (or actually, it sounds more like "way"). I mean, that's how the damn thing sounds when you put it in a word.

W is called "double u" probably from ye olde english/welsh/celtic/whatever or something, where it's said as a long oo sound.
You can still get it a bit in modern times if you do a japanese engrish accent.
eg. Power Wave = Powooah OOeibu

eg. Power Wave = Powooah OOeibu Yeah, I looked up the wikipedia article on the w. Still, that's not have the thing sounds anymore. The term double u is just a stupid appendix.

I propose the new way of saying www as "trouble-you".
