My favorite part of watching WWE is the way their main commentator says “WWE”. You can tell he savors every syllable of it

In other languages, German for instance, its pronounced kinda like “weh” or like the letter V in English. It’s easier to say that way. Back in the day I sometimes said “triple double u” to not have to say it the actual, complicated way 😅

“web” would have sounded nice and clear, we also didn’t name FTP the World Wide File Transfer Protocol (WWFTP).

I’ve heard “dub-dub-dub”. But yeah, saying the abbreviation is longer than the words it’s abbreviating! 😀

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