      It saves a lot of time once you have established it. You invest time when establishing it and get a fraction of it back once a mentionable amount of people know it

        Usually same as our compound letter “ij”, similar but not quite how you’d prononuce the word “eye”. Less commonly it’s pronounced as “i-grec” (greek i) or “ypsilon”.

          In the same way that English Wikipedia is https://en.wikipedia.org/ and Spanish is https://es.wikipedia.org/, there is nothing stopping any website from making www.blah.com point to something different than blah.com. It’s just a convention.

        True. And there’s also the websites that use “en.” or some other language code, and “www.” just leads to the language selection.
