Huh?

What's really dumb is having to say the horribly inefficient term 'www' all the time. With the way the computing world is supposed to make everything more efficient, it is horribly ironic that one of the most used terms is taking the only three-syllable letter in the English alphabet, and having to say it THREE times. Horrible. Inefficiency to three magnitudes, antithetical to the whole programming creed. So much better to have something like 'International Information Interchange' (The III) instead of "World Wide Web" (The WWW) Hell, it's quicker to say "World Wide Web" than it is to say 'WWW', how's that for stupid? The abbreviation is worse than the expanded term.
