I say something like ["dAb@ljUw "dAbl_jU%dAbj@_o] (hoping [_o] is
rounded). I call the Web 'the Web' and the Internet 'the Internet' or
'the Net'. Surprising, that, eh?

And for HTML, I say either /"heitStijEm{l/ or /"eitStijEm{l/ (or without
the /E/s), depending on whether I would put the 'h' into 'h' or not.
Which depends on mood and whether I can be bothered.
