Do English speakers pronounce .us domains as dot us instead of dot u s?



It would only be pronounced as "uhhss" as part of a ___domain hack. Otherwise "you ess". Source: am from USA.


Zoomus


Dot yoo ess. Source: am European.


Me too: 'you ess' (British)


Noting that we British would always call our country "you kay" so .us would be derived from that. I suspect similar reasoning from Europe.


I also say 'dot you ess' and I was born in the USA.
