Websites actually don&#8217;t need the www prefix these days.  Reading out www is awkward, and wastes oxygen.  Newsreaders don&#8217;t need to stumble and stammer over that cumbersome triplet of letters.  E.g. if you want to tell people where to find Macro Scheduler just tell them <a href=\"http:\/\/macroscheduler.com\">macroscheduler.com<\/a>.  Easy to say and easy to remember.<\/p>\n<p>So my second pet peeve is when I find a website that insists on the www prefix.  Luckily they are rare.
