Mine is OOO for Out Of Office. I always misread it in my head like a ghost and it takes me a few seconds to process. It also doesn't translate to speech—you have to say the whole thing.

Interested to see if others have similar acronyms they beef with.

It's the correct way to speak a URL... dub dub dub dot something dot com == https://www.something.com

Correct way is to double-u, not dub.

Correct way is to treat "www." as silent and not even say it or type it. Then if a URL doesn't support non-www URLs, don't do business with them.

Extra credit: block www.* on you pi-hole or other DNS filter so you avoid those sites that force-redirect domain.com to www.domain.com.

I wonder how much they paid to have that domain name only for it to only show the word "something" there
