Back in the early days of the internet,A guy I knew couldn't access any websites.
It turns out that he'd never seen a URL written down (as they were far from ubiquitous as they are now) and therefore couldn't spell www.
Because people had only told him URLs, I asked him what he'd been typing (a conversation which quickly turned into something like a Two Ronnies sketch) he had been putting wuuw on the basis that three-w's didn't make sense. I told him what www meant and asked him what he thought wuuw stood for. He said it was probably just a made up word like email, which he'd been pronouncing like a shortened version of air-mile.
