horsto:Isn't the www already an archaism? You don't need it when you type an address using a modern browser. So why vocalize it?I'd debate against that. On occasion there is a difference between website.com and www.website.com.
The address simply is: esperanto punkto com
This is one example. In a perfect world there wouldn't be any problem though, we'd just type in "lernu!" or "forum of lernu! in English" and voilà (no doubt something Google would like, or like to administer).
(ah wait - you mention vocalising, in which case I agree, everyone nowadays really knows the process so skipping "http://www." shouldn't be a problem. Sorry
)(edit-2: there are sites that for some reason only work with or without www's so in those cases they should be included or specified)

It'll still get you there.
To my mind, in cases where it doesn't matter (which is most cases), the "www" is an archaism. I usually put "ttt" in my blog's URL solely to esperantize it.

horsto:For me, that are new news on the top of the news, too.
k1attack:The reason why there isn't a "w" is because many people (e.g. Germans) can't distinguish between "w" and "v".That's interesting, I didn't know that.
Ahhh, these Germans should better follow that "one letter = one sound" rule more strictly. rrrrrrr! FajAR la fokso, WWWilhelm. Not the apple. Ehm, okay that was another under construction area. Hispanio: I also heard "vo vo vo" in Radio Verda.That seems to be the way the polish folks pronounce it. Some polish collegues told me. Or better we had a lot of fun with that. They: "vo vo vo". We: "we we we" (Esperanto "E"). But we still could communicate together in english so we finised with - na ..... "double yu double yu double yu". I remember slighlty that we greet that way in the morning. The job as an accounter makes you crazy, you know.

k1attack:w w w is like vv vv vv, isn't it?I'm not sure what exactly you mean by "www is like vvvvvv". Of course W and V are two different letters, the latter of which exists in Esperanto, while the first one doesn't.
