I see two badly digested English loanwords:

1. the letter w does not exist in Roman Pali. "Web"
could perhaps be "vebba" och "bebba", but for "web"
and "net" there is already the good Pali word "jaala".
www should of course be "sabbalokajaala".

2. The letter c has a different pronunciation in Roman
Pali than in English, and the combination -rn-, usual
in Sanskrit, is avoided in Pali. Besides, he f sound
does not exist in Pali (in modern Devanagari script,
for example in Hindi, it is written by the p sign plus
a diacritical dot). The kombination -ia- is not common
in Pali, while -iya- is; so "California" should
perhaps be "Kalipo.n.niya".
