Maybe in Danish it's only 6 syllables? Because the English language completely agrees with you.

Most people I know pronounce it dub-dub-dub so I started doing that as well. Maybe a London thing?

I think it's an accent thing. When I say WWW at normal speed, it sounds more like dubble-u dubble-u dubble-u. American, east coast USA.

Unless you say "duh blew duh blew duh blew", you're still using 9 syllables rather than six 6.

I'm not arguing that it's nine syllables, just saying that it's most likely an accent / speed of speech thing as far as the author's six-vs-four thing goes.

I say "triple double u".
