when visiting my dutch family I noticed how faster "vay vay vay" is, so I started thinking vévévé in french instead of "double v" x3 (btw this is a double u : uu) I've said it out loud a few times by accident and people don't question it. I think we all agree it's a bit silly to pronounce.

...

I have an intense and fascinating life.

I don't trust websites that still start with www.

Anyone else not realize the swirls were part of a watermark and just think that was supposed to be part of his haircut?

Say "dubdubdub" or "dubbadubdub". "winwinwin" would also be acceptable.

Even faster to say Net

To play devil's advocate, yes, "w" is technically three syllables in English, but they're easy enough to blur together. Meanwhile, the actual "w" sound is comparatively labor intensive, and "-orld" even more so. We're in purple burglar alarm world.

I think we should sit down and take the shortest syllable version of each word/expression from each language and combine them all into one fast language.
