here's a weird thing about "www": in the netherlands, many people say the "www" out loud when mentioning a domain name, but then omit the dot after the "www". they do mention the dot before the TLD. so a domain like "www.example.nl" would be pronounced as "wwwexample.nl".

to be clear, this is not something incidental. you hear it in radio and tv commercials. there might be a relation with age, with older people forgetting the "." after "www" more often.

This is interesting, I never realized this is the same in France. Sometimes all the words "dot" are omitted. I will have a walk at the office tomorrow to have people read out loud www.example.fr and www.example.nl. This must be seriously researched :)
