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.

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.
