WHYY
Tired of hearing the letter "w" spoken three times in a row? "Lemme give you my address: It's www... wait. That's not it. It's www..."
"We know about the fucking w's! Just give me the rest of it."
How ugly are people who do this? Uglier than the Wicked Witch of the West.
It's more annoying than, "Call 1-800; that number once again is 1-800... That's..."
There is only one letter in the entire alphabet that has more than one syllable. Right: DUH. Bull. You. Would it be so hard to say something like, "Triple-dub?" Now, I was not blessed with a great imagination, but even I could come up with something like that.
And if the address is for World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc? Or a radio station that's east of the Mississippi? Jesus Christ. Or the web site for 1-800 Flowers?
When you're holding on the phone, and they keep saying, "Did you know you can go to www..." If I wanted to use the computer for this, I wouldn't be calling, would I?
Why couldn't internet pioneers have used a different letter? Like, oh, maybe the letter "Y." You want my address? "Why, Why, Why?"
