    If serious, it’s because double-you, double-you, double-you (6 syllables) vs world-wide-web (3 syllables). A syllable sort of represents the amount of time it takes to say something.

    So it takes twice as long to say www.

    If not serious, yes, it’s because your German. But then again, German humor isn’t really that.
