From Mallory Briggs
I’m a student at MIT, where we abbreviate (or assign numbers to) everything.
Commonly, the www prefix to Internet addresses is abbreviated as tri-dub,
instead of the 3-dub noted by Feedback
(28 October). We have shortcuts for
saying other parts of Web addresses, too. For example, MIT’s homepage
(web.mit.edu) is often spoken aloud as “web-dot-mitt (as in, catcher’s mitt)
-dot-eedoo (rhymes with skidoo).”
