People That Scare Me

  1. People who can say “www” really fast.

Saying duhb-ool-you three times in a row should require effort and cause you to go slowly. If it doesn’t, you have special powers and need to be isolated from the rest of us.

  1. I’ve been in the habit of saying “dub dub dub”.

  2. I’d have written the pronunciation “duh-bel-you”- the b is definitely part of the second syllable when I say it.

    But, in practice, I stick with dub-dub-dub as well.

  4. For some reason, “dub dub dub” really gets on my nerves. Although, I’m probably not much better; half the time I catch myself skipping the middle syllable altogether which comes out dubbaya dubbaya dubbaya.

    “Tripple-DoubleYou” doesn’t bother me near as much.

    It also really annoys me when people try to pronounce acronyms.

    Earl for URL as one example.

    There are a lot more that I can’t remember right now, but Earl is definitely in my top 10.
