... and WWW. turns to be the bigger joker of all times, after all,
several sites doesn't use it anyway (http://home.xxx.xxx, or
http://anything.xxx), the funny thing here is that some phone or radio
announcing a web site turns to be terrible, because the announcer (often
not a web sailor) worries so much to say perfectly the three "W" spaced
and perfectly pronounced followed by the "dot", (they take 5 whole
seconds to say that) but them in less than half second they say the real
thing, the one that they really should say slowly, and again, the "DOT
COM" comes in another 3 seconds...   Sounds like this:
DoubleU DoubleU DoubleU Dot    #@$&%    Dot COM
We often need to replay the message 3 times to understand it.
What is the matter with that people?

Recently calling BellSouth ISDN repair, it was delaying very much, so
came a message telling me that I had the option to send an email about
the problem, so I heard to go to  DoubleU, DoubleU, DoubleU, Dot, then
fast something that sounded as F or S, then N or M, then L (this one was
easy), then B or D or it was T?, then V or it was Z?, and then finally
the DOT COM was ok.  It took me 18 attempts of all possible combinations
of FMLTV, SNLDZ and others until I got it, SMLBZ, of course if the
announcer would say "abbreviation for Small Business, SMLBZ" it would be
a lot more easy, but I think they still watching too much MTV, fast
brain damage ;)
