Do we? The most common time-saving pronunciation I have heard simply uses the initial 'w' sounds from the three words, and therefore has three syllables.

I've heard that but primarily with inexperienced users.

I just looked at the Wikipedia page for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronunciation_of_%22www%22 and have never seen so much unsourced drivel in my life. For the record, I have been pronouncing it the way I described in the GP comment for the last twenty plus years, so that's some sort of data point.

Well its Wikipedia. What do you expect. And as for me, it's purely an anecdote. I think it depends on where you are and who you know.

Citation needed.
