Web Two Point Naught

As a former copy edit, I love this sort of detail-intensive language study!

Here is a post from the BBC blog that concluded (in February... I'm a little behind the times here) that the correct pronunciation of "Web 2.0" is "web two point oh." I realized that this is how most of us have been saying it (I would love to hear someone in class say "web two dot naught" thought), but I find the alternative pronunciations that the Brits were considering to be fascinating.

What a great point they make about how written characters need to be able to speak authentically. That's what I call justification for polling! But rest assured it is now official: "web two point oh," as O'Reilly suggested, is the "correct" (or at least preferred) pronunciation.
