Apropos of nothing...
World Wide Web = 3 syllables.
Would you accept 3.5? "World" is one of those words that seems to have a sort of half-syllable; try as I might I can't I can't make it come out smoothly as one. (I get approximately "wor-ld", with just the tiniest vowel sound before the "l".)

I, you see, have no accent. :-)
And I do it one simple syllable. :-) (I de-emphasize the r.)
